I'm the girl that got black hair dye off a white wall without having to paint
I got pink hair dye out of a white carpet, and black nail polish off a carpet.

There is not a stain I cannot get rid of.
When I was younger I got black automotive paint on my mothers off white living room carpet. I was painting my car in the garage barefoot and powder residue was all over my feet. Could not get the stains out so I just put bleach in the steam cleaner and did the entire living room. From stained off white to bright white (and a little rougher). lol. Pretty sure she noticed and just never said anything....

yup.. i took them out of the car since it was easier to do that carpets that way.. i went to ace hardware, rented the cleaner and upholstery attachment. i went over the spot twice just to be sure i got it (hard to tell once its wet) and used regular carpet/upholstery cleaning stuff i had at home. i'll put up a pic later

That's the worst thing about those seats, you leave rings on them just trying to clean them. I'm fairly certain the only way to get around that is to clean the whole seat at once so there's no chance for rings. But this is also the reason I don't let anyone eat in my car. **** my buddy was drinking water in the car, I made him laugh and he got a little water on the seat and it left rings -_-. Just can't win with these seats I guess.

got another spot on my drivers seat now. first time trying a big mac... not worth it. not even a good sandwhich.

also the other spots on the passenger seat seem to have magically reappeared. this is killing me. i'm gonna do baltbishes method later and use concentrated dishsoap.

I used tuff stuff on my passenger side seat before my buddy spilt water on it and left rings and it seemed to have cleaned off really well. If the soap thing doesn't work, I would try the tuff stuff.
