How to clean recaro seats w/ water spots?



Was wondering if anyone could give suggestions on how to clean this. Originally I had 1 spot. I then used some carpet cleaner, and water to try to get that 1 spot out, and it caused this mess

Be careful how hard you scrub in the mesh area ......It's real easy to tear up the black cloth underneath ....and if you do mess up the black under there it bulges threw the mesh and looks like patches of Velcro .

what would be the best way of "scrubbing" then. Just rubbing gently with a nice towel?

If u use Tuff Stuff, just let it sit for a minute and then use a washcloth/rag and it'll come right out. No scrubbing necessary.

a spray bottle filled w/ water

your choice of upholstery cleaner

A mild brushed scrubber

a towel of some sort

1) spray a light mist of water

2) spray a light mist of the cleaner

3) rub it in w/ the brush

4) press and soak up as much of the seat as you can.

I had my seats steam cleaned for 20$ worked great. I am going to try some of the above methods though due to time constraints
