How do you clean car upholstery?
What kind of cleaner should I use for dirty cloth upholstery in a car? Previously, I’ve always had leather seats, so I don’t know how to clean cloth seats properly.

If you have cloth seats, the best way to clean car upholstery is to use vinegar, dish soap, and hot water. Here’s how:
- Mix together one cup of vinegar, a few drops of dish soap, and roughly a gallon of hot water in a bucket.
- Dab the mixture onto areas that are dirty or stained.
- Use a scrub brush to work the mixture into the fabric and dislodge any loose dirt.
- Rinse your seats with cold, clean water.
The vinegar in the mixture will remove any unwanted odors, while the dish soap will help to dislodge the worst of the grime. After you’ve cleaned your seats, make sure to research
