My suggestion is to begin using cold water for a few passes, then use hot water. Hot water will set some stains. Learned this working for a dry cleaner.
Right. Hopefully, you've not bled on your seats, but if you have, hot water will set that blood stain. Use only cold water with it. I know. I used to work in a hospital. Lots of cold water will eliminate blood stains quite well.
Man I just tried this, went mudding few weeks ago seats we smothered in dry dirt, worked great!! Thanks man you saved me nearly $200 getting it shampooed
"it's not gonna cost you a cent" "okay so the first thing you're gonna need is your shop vac" WTF EDIT: I wrote this three years ago, didn’t expect to be the top comment lol. y’all are really getting butthurt over this 😂
Many people have a shop vac. You don't need a big one, you can get smaller ones. I have a small wet vac and that's what I use if for, other than a mess on the rug. You can get a small wet vac for 25 - 30 dollars, no need to spend 50 bucks for a big one.
Another who are anglry about the canadians ? This video is very good, and it's surely the better way to keep the seat clean, my only doubt is about the soap, maybe it's better to used a soap made for car interior.
This works and it is easy. And if you don't have a .79 cent spray bottle or dish liquid and can't go to the magic wand car wash....you might wanna leave this hard stuff to the pros...and see what they charge :)
This works. Its basically a cheaper homemade carpet cleaner. Its the same thing in concept, but the steam cleaner is just fancier: spray and vacuum button on the handle, sprayer is a nozzle exterior to and next to the vacuum end. U can also use a soft brush to work in/out the water before vacuuming it.
Adam Gabir.. Brush with horses hair dont heart no bady, in your box cases can use own hair??? Nobody who have 100k cars DIY sheets like this... out of box :D you win!
My wife has the same kind of material looking seats in her Chevy trailblazer, but the best part of the video was that bridge where that boat went where they lift up that bridge that be cool to see more of that Chris take it easy
thanks for the video! your tip worked like a charm! Btw, to the suggested solution i also added the cleaning vinegar - it helps to remove unpleasant "aromas". :)
Most people have a shop vac of some kind, a squirt bottle and some dawn dishwashing liquid. Thanks Chris! Great tip on how to clean cloth car seats! Unfortunately my shop vac is elsewhere ATM. But I will definitely give this a try when I get it back!
You can also spray rubbing alcohol on the seat/stain (with the degreaser) and take a dry towel in one direction and pull the stain out that way if you don’t have a shop vac. Micro fibers work the best
The dawn and hot water works so much better when you use some sort of brush to brush it in. I use a nylon mid sized brush, it any brush would work just fine.
Nice video! Now I’m wondering, say there was a little squabble and now there’s blood all over the back seat. How would you clean that? Asking for a friend…
And if you don’t have a spray bottle just put the soap and water on a micro fiber/towel then ring most of it out and pour a little rubbing alcohol on the towel. Go over the stain in one direction several time then in the same direction use a dry towel. Repeat until stain is removed
Do you have any vacuum alternatives? Maybe a lint roller, or a hand brush? 😅 Sorry. Just trying to work with what I have. Thank you for this awesome vid and tip. 🙌
A lot of comments here complaining about having to buy a shop vac. As a homeowner and do it your self kinda guy, trust me; shop vacs pay for themselves!
Except that they're still there a couple inches down. But that's good enough usually. Sometimes I'll remove the seat (after buying a cheap used car that smelled like the PO) and dumped buckets of boiling water then vacuumed
Lol....this is funny. YES laundry detergent is made for fabric. BUT is it made specifically to get off grease? Yeah...I don’t think so. Detergent is for a general cleaning and perfuming of your laundry, not to literally save a ducks life when it gets immersed in oil that people dump in their water. It’s safe to assume people don’t keep up with their car e.i. Not cleaning it once a week, which means the majority of people will have tough stains. There is the “common sense” difference. Lol. You’re not dealing with your normal laundry, your dealing with an old difficult stain on one of the most tightly woven fabrics in modern day.
Go to a car wash they have vacuum & I’m certain that y’all have any kind of soap to wash dishes if not then I wonder what u use for dishes lmaoook 🤣😂🤦🏻♀️
Wait, why isn't this video at least 30 minutes long with him telling me his life story and how his dog just went into surgery and stuff before getting to the point of the video? Oh, video was made in 2017, that explains a lot. Also I hope your dog is doing great.
Wow, a car cleaning video that doesn’t have any BS sponsored “wonder cleaner product” AND is only TWO MINUTES?? Holy ****, am I on the right website?? What??
Two tips that will massively improve the process: Replace the water with vinegar and use a scrub brush to agitate it briefly before vacuuming. It could be improved even further if you smear a little bit of baking soda over the seat beforehand and have a second sprayer with plain water to saturate while vacuuming for a makeshift extractor.
@@brittanycurrency2941 Only for a certain amount of time. Vinegar evaporates, leaving no scents behind. Took about three days for my car to lose it's vinegar scent, but it could take longer if you use too much vinegar or you are in a colder climate.
@@DominicI1 With the vinegar mixture, do you still use the dish soap? I'm thinking of giving this a try and I want to make sure I understand your advice.
@@cedricadaniels7983 Yes, I still used dish soap. The vinegar by itself can help dissolve certain minerals and make it easier for a stain to separate (especially if the stain has been there for a long time). The soap is equally important though, as it bonds to the oils and sticks to particles, giving the vacuum something to suction onto and pull out. Hope this helps!
Used this technique & it worked perfect ! Thank you! & for those who don’t have a shop vac you can just go to those car washes that have the free vacuum & it’ll do the job! That’s what I did.
Then a random guy walking by sees window open, decides "this must be where I'm supposed to drop off the stuff" looks around inconspicuously, then drops 30 pounds of high grade *drugs* in car

Amazing thank you! I tried this on a giant stain that's been in my used car since I bought it a year ago. Came out almost immediately
For all of the pinheads who are talking about shop vac: Go to a car wash and use their vac! We'll go over how to tie our shoes next time.
But that'll cost 75 cents...
Next time we'll cover paying attention
Over here at our car wash vacuum, we can’t use it for more than 10 minutes lol
🗣 *NEWS FLASH PINHEAD!!!!! YOU'RE STILL SPENDING MONEY AND IT'LL BE MORE THAN ONE CENT!!!*
Can't. Stop. Laughing. Seriously, though, cool video!
How are we supposed to know that it’s the same thing? And what car wash is gonna let you DETAIL your frikkin car?!

Thats great. Quite easy and does work.
Behzad Modabberzadeh Use another bottle of distilled water to rinse the detergents out of the fabric before your final vacuum.
Rubbing with plastic brush, than vacuum.. and you don't need 4 second pass... He rub with sticks of vacuum cleaner...that Is sow stupid

Does it make the car smell cause of the water over the cloth?
Don't have a shop vac, but will try to bother a friend to loan me one. Seems simple enough. Appreciate the video.

Thank you Chris. Saving me from a pinto bean leftovers accident after family dinner across town.
Just tried it on 4 year old coffe stains, works.
Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Quick and concise info, thanks!

You just Save me $150 on upholstery cleaning 👌
The dawn and hot water works so much better when you use some sort of brush to brush it in. I use a nylon mid sized brush, it any brush would work just fine.
Gonna try it tomorrow, using the cold water, then hot water method. I'll keep you posted!
I like your video and appreciate your effort to add interest for your viewers. I'm going to try this, thank you!
Best and easiest advice ever
Thank you
It worked great for me

BOUT TO GO GET IT DONE. WISH ME LUCK
I will say even though my black leather seats sucked in the summer, they were super easy to clean.
Dawn be removing oil from birdies an stains from seats amen , i use dawn on my stains on my daughter's clothes an anything I've left on my shirt
Thank you for the video.I’m going to try this myself.
Thanks for the advice
People do this? When my seat gets a little mark on it I just buy a new car.
Takeit Easy I text my butter to get another, clean car from the garage and destroy the one with the stain.
That's why I lease.
Takeit Easy same lol
So what if your 2019 lambo gets dirty? Are you buying a new one
MagicianFlip69 anything’s replaceable brother
Nice ... I like your TH-cam channel ( and I thought I was a handyman)
Hey Chris, great vid. do you have a trick for cleaning foggy headlights? Searched your page but didn't see anything
Not yet, but I'll keep an eye out for a solution and do a video if I find one.
So simple -just one question -can you do this in seats that have heaters ?
Yes!
Thanks man
great video, no bullshit straight and simple.
ok method. I however us a soap mix or my upholstery spray - but scrub a bit with a damp brush. Then use old rags to sop it up.
Thanks it really helped
Nice video!
Now I’m wondering, say there was a little squabble and now there’s blood all over the back seat. How would you clean that?
Asking for a friend…
It's basically a steam cleaner vac.... You can find a good steam vac for pretty cheap...
The advice was priceless.. the material needed, well most have it on hand or are local to a car wash..js:)
And if you don’t have a spray bottle just put the soap and water on a micro fiber/towel then ring most of it out and pour a little rubbing alcohol on the towel. Go over the stain in one direction several time then in the same direction use a dry towel. Repeat until stain is removed

I’m British so I’m not sure if it applies or if it’s any different but would a Hoover do the same job?
You should not suck up water unless it is a wet/dry vac.
A lot of comments here complaining about having to buy a shop vac. As a homeowner and do it your self kinda guy, trust me; shop vacs pay for themselves!
lobo en hs this may sound dumb but will any shop vac work to pick up the liquid or could it ruin it?
Kyle Lortz ,
It should be a wet/ dry vac. When you vacuum liquid you just have to remove the filter.
Really helpful man. Thanks.
Does this work on old stains? If so im going to try it
Yes it does. Doesn't hurt to try. What do you have to lose?
WOW , Just like magic ...
It work man one love
Great video
Really helpful
You should agitate the cleaner with a brush. Dollar-store brushes should be adequate.
I also get the dish soap freom the dollar-store.
Thanks for the info and tutorial!
Thank you
nice! thanks for the info
maybe dry vac first. and scrub the wetted area before wetvac...?
Did you use an extractor vacuum or just a regular vacuum?
thank very helpfull 👍👍🙏🏻
😯 where you got that keyboard?
I made it myself.
Nice, just that drying part - winter is coming :(
Everyones talking about not having a shop vac while my first thought was go to a car wash to use one of theirs
They look good now but what if you don't have a shop vac...what do you do then ?
If you own a car, you need a shop vac!!
Except that they're still there a couple inches down. But that's good enough usually. Sometimes I'll remove the seat (after buying a cheap used car that smelled like the PO) and dumped buckets of boiling water then vacuumed
I think is better to use laundry detergent because it is for fabric, not for dishes..
Use whatever you want.
Jordan Bronson Yes you can use urine if you wish...😄😄😄
People don't have fucking common sense, how is dish washing soap better than laundry detergent to clean car seats made of fabric? Dumb, dumb....
Many people use dawn dishsoap as laundry detergent too, but they do dilute it beforehand.
Lol....this is funny. YES laundry detergent is made for fabric. BUT is it made specifically to get off grease? Yeah...I don’t think so. Detergent is for a general cleaning and perfuming of your laundry, not to literally save a ducks life when it gets immersed in oil that people dump in their water.

Does this method work well with the car carpet?

Its worth a try. What do you have to lose!
Do I need to use my water filter for this? I know stupid question lol
Your awesome!
Going point re: making multiple passes.
Nice job so yeah what if I don’t have that type of vaccum?
You could spray, agitate with a brush, and suck up using a dry towel(s).
