  • Trying to restore the original white interior in the 2017 Tesla Model S. It hasn't been cleaned in OVER 1 YEAR! They were disgusting. I will go over how I clean them. That stitching is still so dark though. So that will be part 2 - Trying to restore the stitching...

    This baby wipe thing is actually a really good tip for Tesla owners. White seats or not. It works. These guys did a video on this years ago and I’ve been using simple wipes for years and it has always worked. I have huge muddy dogs.

    I did my black interior on my Model 3 yesterday. The wipes looked just as dirty as yours when I was finished. I’ll be doing this more often.

    Those seats were just dirty, that’s the only reason the baby wipes worked. ANY clothing that would have dye transfer will NOT clean off with anything that’s not very aggressive, and even then, some dyes WILL NOT come off these white seats!
    I know from experience! My white Tesla seats have permanent staining and I clean them weekly!

    I took your recommendation to order white seats same time as you ordered 2022 mS. I love them and get numerous compliments. I refrain from wearing blue jeans on white seats and wish there was a quick install white seat cover. My 2017 mS had jeans stains on beige seats.

    Mild dish washing detergent might be a good solution for the stitching or a mild clothing detergent for sensitive skins/woollens and silks.

    So great and so sorry I didn’t go with the white interior on my Model 3 LR. Regarding the stitching, I have a 20 year old BMW M3 and the steering wheel has tri color stitching, over the years it has almost turned black. I used dish detergent and a toothbrush and it cleaned it up perfectly, the stitching is now clean and bright, looking like brand new.

    While I personally prefer the white seats and have them in my Tesla, I find that they are susceptible to permanent stains that no product (safe for the seats) can remove. People should plan accordingly if they wear new jeans or yoga style pants as those appear to be the most guilty offenders.
