How do you dry wet car seats fast?
I accidentally left my car windows open during a storm, and now my seats are soaked. I’ve been using paper towels, but they leave a gross residue behind. What are some other ways I can dry my seats faster than just leaving the windows open again?

Having wet seats can be a really annoying problem to deal with. Luckily there are a few simple solutions that you can use to protect your seats from long-term
water damage
. To dry wet car seats quickly, cloth towels will do the trick much better than paper towels! Here’s what to do:- Using the cloth towel, pat the area dry. Do not smear or rub.
- If you can remove your seats, a nice sunny day or a room with a couple of fans in it will do the trick. Unfortunately, nearly every method of drying your car’s seats will take some time, but leaving them in the sun for a few hours or in a room with multiple fans overnight should do the trick.
- If you cannot remove the seats, try using a blow dryer. This is the most time-consuming method, but a blow dryer is a great tool for accessing any damp areas that are more difficult to access.
While you’re waiting for your seats to dry, it’s always a good idea to make sure that your car is covered for any eventuality. To do this easily, check out the
