Upholstery in today’s vehicles is remarkably durable. Even after being abused with ground in filth they can be scrubbed vigorously and extracted to regain their near original condition.
Well done, I did notice the hose of the machine when you first went to use the extractor had a lot of dirt in it from the previous use left inside of it, and the machine has a self-cleaning feature. I also detail vehicles and the only thing that is different is i tip the seat over and do the back first then i do the seat base, and i use LA's Totally Awesome to clean the seats because it is all natural and it does just good of a job but there is no chemicals in it, so i think it is safer to use, but that is just my opinion. I enjoyed the video and was surprised at how similar we work.
The self clean Hydrarinse attachment is actually not always included with the SpotClean, depends on the model #, can be purchased separately or someone also suggested you can cup your hand to obtain the same effect lol
I was wondering why you were not using the pump spray and steamer I've seen in other videos. Thought it was a far gone conclusion I had to get a pump spray and a steamer. Glad I saw this video showing how this process can be done without going all out $$$ on the tools needs. My wallet thanks you!
2wks ago i got my Bissell and man its awesome! I so prefer it to my wet-vac/vacuum (Numatic George). That thing will only be getting used as a vacuum from now on. Besides the clean water leaks from the hose connector at the machine (since day one). I like it but the Bissell is so much easier to use and i cant forget parts of it. i sometimes do forget the fresh water tank from the Numatic George and lose time traveling back home to get it (so frustrating). Cheers Josh XD
@@22sanch I got the Bissel spot clean pet pro. Is now an older machine and harder to get but Bissell brought out one called Bissell Little Green Pet Pro that is very similar. So far it's still holding up well. I have taken very good care of it as when i originally bought it it was around $300. Now this style machine is far more affordable and i still love it. Have done over 300 cars so far and still going.😁
Cool video. Just getting into detailing as a hobby, maybe more serious when I retire. Thank you for showing the Bissell, was thinking about picking one up!!!
this is a time where you want to have one of those new battery powered sprayers to spray the degreaser on there. having to keep using that spray bottle trigger gets to be hard on the hand, wrist.
Another great video! Question. Why do you throw the water on the seat when using the Bissell? Why not just use it to vacuum out the product? Also, after you have thrown the water, why use a microfibre cloth to wipe it out? Why not just make another pass with the Bissell without the water?
Great results, good job. If you do run a detailing business keep in mind how strong you dilute your products. I rarely go over 10:1. For best results pre spray the seats and let is sit for 20 min. It does a massive difference. Going 1:1 is just a waist of product in my mind, dough that arm rest was a disaster
I am a detailer and have used a variety of different cleaners. In my experience, Super Clean is the best cleaner on the market. It cuts through the toughest grease and grime and rinses..well...super clean...with no residue! My best results with it is diluting it 4 or 5:1 with distilled water (Important! I don't know exactly why but I've tested it against tap water and it just cleans better!) Definitely get a pump sprayer. It will save your hands and forearms plus will saturate what you are cleaning more effectively and produce better results!
the bissel spot clean pro is awsome machine. i bought one for a year ago an still works lik new. love that machine. and what awsome result of the seats you work on 😃
I just got that extractor and wasn’t too impressed? Am I doing something wrong or expecting too much? I guess I’m looking for something powerful enough that it leaves the outlines. Felt a bit weak?
Love your videos man. Weekend warrior here and trying to get seats cleaned on a new to me 2011 Honda Pilot. Just ordered the Bissell Spot Clean Pro. Several reviews mention problems with the hose, wondering if you have had any issues with yours. Maybe Uberflex makes a replacement hose LOL
Good day looking from Trinidad you make up mind I can afford that extractor only thing where do you get replacement parts for the extractor a guy in another video broke the suction part in his he say it is easy to break another thing how you can tell which chemicals is safe for the upholstery
Wow the armrest is so gross... the black water is nuts! How old are those seats? Awesome job, if it was just 2 dirty seat cleaning, how much would you charge? Do you recommend a portable Hoover or Bissell upholstery cleaner?
Night and day difference between using towels and an extractor. I get that you can remove dirt with them, but it's not even comparable. Superclean is probably really good stuff, but seriously, a DIY APC will get you 90% there with a cheap extractor like that spotclean pro.
In lieu of an extractor, would a wet/dry vac do a satisfactory job to pull out some of the dirt and moisture? Love your videos and have made several purchases based on your recommendations. Thank you!
Was going to say shop vac 100% would suck more out it has way more water lift than any of these cheap cleaners’ all carpet cleaners unless u pay couple thousand dollars are all trash’ The most important thing is sucking up what u put down’ put your hand over any consumer machine if barley sucks your skin can’t even hold a piece of paper’ now use your shop vac if will stay on your arm hanging’ Pisses me off all consumer machines have such little suction’ if u don’t suck up dirt/ soap what was the point? U just gotta keep doing it over and over that’s prolly their plan so u have to buy more solution etc’ Rug dr at 500 is a fn rip Off it is no better than an $80 shop vac it’s a joke they charge that much when even your push vacuum has more suction and a vacuum is what $100 or less? So consumer machines n general r a joke
Great video - thank you! Question: I have used Resolve Carpet/Fabric cleaner to spot treat auto seats, as well as cheap/basic Dawn Dishwash soap.... which is an excellent degreaser. Seems to have worked extremely well. Are all degreasers essentially similar and yield good results? Just wonder why Super Degreaser is any better than any other degreaser? I am not a pro detailer.... just a dad dude...
When cleaning seats as neglected as these, you are removing the dirt in layers. The microfiber towel helps pull up all that dirt and grime that was just brought to the surface. Then repeat your steps of saturating, scrub into the fibers, and drill brush. THEN, use the extractor to pull the rest of the dirt and cleaning solution out of the surface. In essence, you are taking some of the work load out of an entry level extractor and will have undeniably better results!
If you add Bissell spot and stain cleaner the one that has febreeze to water it leaves seats Smelling nice
Incredible how well the Super Clean worked on those seats!! What a great product!! Great review!!

Ill take a look at LAs totall awesome.. Thanks!

I have used both and IMHO Super Clean is superior and rinses out with less residue.

One of the best car cleaning videos!
Nice step by step thorough demonstration. Professional.
Excellent detailed video. I’m learning lots from your videos. Keep up the great work.

What bissell did you buy? How’s it holding up?

Damn, how many towels you go through!! Awesome job
Zep makes a high volume spray bottle that would probably save your hand lol I love the one I bought
Nice tutorial. Can’t wait to get at my seats with the Pet Pro extractor.
Josh can I use hot water on a Bissell spot clean or us it not recommended. Thanks
Excellent video. Really helpful. I already have the Bissel machine, but just picked up a drill brush based on your advice.
Can you clean Heated cloth seats with this same process? Wasn't sure if it would damage the seat in any way. Thanks for the video !
I learn so much watching your videos, thank you.
Awesome thank you
IMJOSHV you are the EMS of upholstery revival. Thank you for sharing!!!
Cool video. Just getting into detailing as a hobby, maybe more serious when I retire. Thank you for showing the Bissell, was thinking about picking one up!!!
I have the Bissell little green and I love it

really great loved so much the extractions make more

I use super clean for my cars as well as my house, love that stuff, great video Josh 👍😁
awesome video! what are your thoughts of going over it with the shopvac before wiping down with the microfiber towels of we dont have an extractor?
Excellent and helpful video. Saving as reference material. Thank you!
You do not have to hold the trigger on the Bissell.If you let go it will suck up the liquid.
Great results, good job. If you do run a detailing business keep in mind how strong you dilute your products. I rarely go over 10:1. For best results pre spray the seats and let is sit for 20 min. It does a massive difference. Going 1:1 is just a waist of product in my mind, dough that arm rest was a disaster
Does Super Clean leave a residue? What about Krud Kutter?
I am a detailer and have used a variety of different cleaners. In my experience, Super Clean is the best cleaner on the market. It cuts through the toughest grease and grime and rinses..well...super clean...with no residue!
My best results with it is diluting it 4 or 5:1 with distilled water (Important! I don't know exactly why but I've tested it against tap water and it just cleans better!)

the bissel spot clean pro is awsome machine. i bought one for a year ago an still works lik new. love that machine.
and what awsome result of the seats you work on 😃
Is it an extractor
@@clintsaines9274 yes. it is a extractor and good one for the price. i still use mine
@@clintsaines9274yes it is an extractor
Another great video!
The same procedure apply to “Leather Seats” ? Great job! Thank you
no. use a leather cleaner, leather brush some microfiber towels to wipe them dry and apply some leather conditioner with a applicator
Can you do a video on how to remove the seats and what tools you use? Thank you
Generally they bolted by 4 bolts at the bottom of each seat. Super simple
I just got that extractor and wasn’t too impressed? Am I doing something wrong or expecting too much? I guess I’m looking for something powerful enough that it leaves the outlines. Felt a bit weak?
Love your videos man. Weekend warrior here and trying to get seats cleaned on a new to me 2011 Honda Pilot. Just ordered the Bissell Spot Clean Pro. Several reviews mention problems with the hose, wondering if you have had any issues with yours. Maybe Uberflex makes a replacement hose LOL
do you only use water in the extractor tank? or do you use some of the soap concentrate they sell in there as well?
Seats came out 👍! How's the van coming along? Is the transmission fixex?
Yea it’s fixed! But it was on the high end unfortunately… $3900 but now I don’t have to worry about it!
@@imjoshv Looking forward to watching you build it out!
How do you dry the seats?
Good day looking from Trinidad you make up mind I can afford that extractor only thing where do you get replacement parts for the extractor a guy in another video broke the suction part in his he say it is easy to break another thing how you can tell which chemicals is safe for the upholstery
Thank you, and love your video's for us weekend DIY.
This dude is making this into a huge job.
Great job as always. After cleaning how would you protect cloth?
Great job. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
What is there for people that want to clean seats on the road, using 12Volts?
If you don't have a heated extractor could you use a streamer before you use the carpet extractor?
Yes, almost preferred I have noticed. I plan to use my steamer before my extractor next to see the difference.
If I have the steam cleaner and a ridgid shop vac, would it benefit having the spot clean pro?
Superclean is awesome and very inexpensive. Josh, what’s the outcome with your van’s transmission? Did you get it repaired yet?
Can you use this Chemical on a 2023 civic car seat?
Where can I purchase super clean I'm in the UK ?
i have pro heat i used cleaner that came with it 2 little bottles may have used too much but it got the poop stain off my car seat from uber passenger
thanks again for all the vids man
no passenger airbag sensor to not get wet?
Awesome video
Would superclean be safe for black colored fabrics as well?
I expect you used a torque wrench to reinstall the seats to necessary pounds per square inch , specs .
was the name or were u buy the towel please
Thank for the informative video
did you put any cleaner in the extractor or did you just use water?
I always pretreat the are with cleaner and just use the extractor to rinse away. That way no chemical builds up in the unit
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU DEAR
Do you use a steamer?
After the bessell extractor what kind you hav cannot afford expensive one's
And this is why I’ve come to HATE cloth seats! They get so nasty…🤮
Wow the armrest is so gross... the black water is nuts! How old are those seats?
Awesome job, if it was just 2 dirty seat cleaning, how much would you charge?
Do you recommend a portable Hoover or Bissell upholstery cleaner?
Daft question but why do you need water in the extractor if your just extracting everything off the seat
Need some water to rinse while extracting the dirt.
Sorry bro nice vid seats looked a world different. Nice job.
A pump sprayer is $6-8 trust me way worth it’ your hands will thank u’ the zep spray bottles r $5 so spend a little extra get a pump sprayer
Night and day difference between using towels and an extractor. I get that you can remove dirt with them, but it's not even comparable. Superclean is probably really good stuff, but seriously, a DIY APC will get you 90% there with a cheap extractor like that spotclean pro.
How safe is drill brush for fabric seats, all type seats?
White colored ones are the softest so pretty safe on fabric i wouldn't try that on leather myself
Steam cleaner?
How much do you charge bro for a sedan car seats cleaning only?
Which apc u use for seats?
Great video!
Thanks!
In lieu of an extractor, would a wet/dry vac do a satisfactory job to pull out some of the dirt and moisture? Love your videos and have made several purchases based on your recommendations. Thank you!
My shop vas actually has more suction.
There's a shop vac accessory kit to wash cars
Was going to say shop vac 100% would suck more out it has way more water lift than any of these cheap cleaners’ all carpet cleaners unless u pay couple thousand dollars are all trash’
The most important thing is sucking up what u put down’ put your hand over any consumer machine if barley sucks your skin can’t even hold a piece of paper’ now use your shop vac if will stay on your arm hanging’
Pisses me off all consumer machines have such little suction’ if u don’t suck up dirt/ soap what was the point? U just gotta keep doing it over and over that’s prolly their plan so u have to buy more solution etc’
Rug dr at 500 is a fn rip
Off it is no better than an $80 shop vac it’s a joke they charge that much when even your push vacuum has more suction and a vacuum is what $100 or less? So consumer machines n general r a joke

“Dad dude” is literally what I want to be
which is better the pro or the pet pro?
Pet pro is legit bro. I have both the orange one and purple one.... Legit!!
@@gogators5762 i got the blue pro
I think there pet pro is the same but with an extra accessory
I dont see the point of using microfiber towels when you have extractor...
You use the towel when you don’t have an extractor
We live in the north and the weather is always cold. Mold could grow in the seat.
Hes showing you can use microfiber or extractor.
An extractor will not remove all the dirty liquid. Extracting it and wiping with a microfiber is how professionals extract seats or carpet.
When cleaning seats as neglected as these, you are removing the dirt in layers. The microfiber towel helps pull up all that dirt and grime that was just brought to the surface. Then repeat your steps of saturating, scrub into the fibers, and drill brush.
THEN, use the extractor to pull the rest of the dirt and cleaning solution out of the surface. In essence, you are taking some of the work load out of an entry level extractor and will have undeniably better results!
Any issues doing this without removing the seats from car?
Eh kinda annoying and you won't reach the right side of the drivers seat because of the center console
Newer cars have nylon coverings, which are like canvas.
The towels are unnecessary if you have a extracter
I can smell this video.
Killler seats
Car seatbelts
Why was i thinking this whole time he was tryna get rid of the lines😭
Why tf you are using the microfiber towel to smear the loosened dirt back to the seat again, instead of extracting it with the Bisell? OMG…
Its actually absorbing the loose dirt that has. been lifted out. That way im not oversatursating the seats more than needed
Man how to even let the car get like that 😢
Somebody's passenger had a "poo" incident. 🤢
People are dirty. Definitely a premium service. Otherwise y’all can sit your own filth. 🤮
Bro, you don't wear gloves!!!?? Who knows what your touching on that seat.
1st
Why do you wave your arms so much.
😂😂
Why didn’t you use the drill brush on the arm rest?
I normally would, just wanted to how what you could achieve with just a brush on it
