Cleaning seats
Hey guys, I'm working on cleaning up my sister 06 Ls her seats and carpet are stained pretty bad, I've shampooed them and it helps but they still look dirty. Just wondering if anybody has found anything that will work. Thanks

idk how you're shampooing them but make sure you have a stiff scrub brush. If that's not working, find a powerful stain remover, obviously test it on an unnoticible spot first. If that doesn't work, you may need to resort to a heavy steam cleaner or go see a professional. Professional detailers have great carpet cleaners that can remove most stains (but not all, some things are just too heavy to remove)

I signed papers at 11am, they gave me the keys at 4pm. I was being patient. I told them to finish it and they said they did. By the time they gave me the keys, I asked them about the stains and they said they tried..... Which I know they did because the car was still a little dirty. I still had a 2 hr drive home so I was like skrew it, plus I didnt want to complain & make things worse.

Ok well I ended up picking up some tuff stuff from autozone and it worked great. Just followed the directions and it got all stains out of the seats and the carpet. Took me a good chunk of the day but it looks really good. Thanks for the input guys

yeap a cloth you just wet it a lil bit and rub them a little bit after you let the Tuff stuff sit for about 3-5 mins , get a bucket of water so you can clean the towel every little bit, ud be surprised how much dirt will come out, then let the seats dry out for a bit then ur all set !
I used a full bottle for the front ones, so if you're doing the backs as well, get another bottle advanced auto has them for sale for 2 for 5bux
