Sarah it's always fun to see your smiling face and silly sense of humor and all the great information you give us Amateurs out here. Thanks for being you....!!!
I have white seats with deep vinyl honeycomb pattern inserts (shows ALL the dirt and discoloration). I’ve struggled for years to figure out to really get in there and clean those inserts, but now I know I’m going to get a brush like you use - makes total sense. Thanks for the tip! 👍🏻
This is one of your best produced videos yet!! The editing is spot on, content is spot on, and of course the humor is the icing on the cake. Well done Sarah ! And thank you for your time and effort.
I just did an interior clean of this level on a car I thought was clean. Brushing in your cleaning product and wiping it off w a Microfiber really makes a difference. I love my clean car. Good tips, Sarah
You definitely take cleaning seats to another level,only time ever took seats out was when x-wife left her windows open in the rain ,love your vids you inspire me
Another tech tip - if you have power seats, it’s usually better to unbolt the seat before you disconnect the battery/ harnesses because on a lot of cars the seat will need to be all the way up to remove the rear bolts and all the way back to remove the front bolts. Also the airbag fuse should also be pulled as power can still be in the system after the battery is removed 👍
Woah....thanks for lettn me know 108SBSO! Im just about ready to swap the carpet and leather seats out of my Yukon XL with over 275000miles. Sharah, i started takn care of my Grandfathers company vehicles at age 13 (he had 27 of them). He always told me, you take care of your vehicle and it will take care of you : ) *My mechanic Marvels at how clean my engine bay is. You could eat off it....Stay Strong Sarah and thx 108SBSO....
Another great video, Sarah. Taking the seats out is the BEST way to clean them. I also liked your water test. Keep up the good work. Love your channel.
Good job Sarah! Another awesome video!!... Life is a challenge. How we choose to move forward IS what makes us who we are, and makes us unique. You're unique and beautiful and much stronger than you think. Keep making these great videos so your fans know you're moving forward from last week 😀
Best way to clean interior and the seats is to remove the seats, 4 bolts and a few connections really gives you a TON of freedom. Love the vids as always SNT!
You do a great job. One note on our technique differences....I do the leatherette first then the cloth. I do it this way just in case there is any overspray from the leatherette cleaner on the cloth. Also Griots Garage has an awesome leather cleaner that does a fantastic job on the fake stuff and vinyl...plus it softens it up and smells great. Thanks for another great video.
Nice Mask, I completely reupholstered my seats in my 91 Miata I'm so happy was easy to do I was surprised the hardest part was getting the four bolts loose holding each seat wrench and Hammer little taps aggravating, you must be a part-time actress as well and mechanic and filmmaker crazy
If this hasn’t been said already, it’s a good idea to lay an old towel or blanket across the door sill/jamb. Helps protect the paint from the sharp edges on the mounting feet, and protects the seat from rubbing across the sill, etc. Sometimes you have to lay the seat on its side or it’s easier to slide it out the back door rather than trying to physically lift it out.
I use soap and water or just water and a wet dry vac. Seems to work pretty good. Mostly just water unless there is a staining substance in the materiel.
Another benefit of removing the seats is you can easily clean the carpets underneath. I've removed the seats from my car and its so much easier to clean!
Sarah the Meticulous, I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. I can see where on an annual basis taking out the seat to clean them and the area under them is a wise idea. Because the bolts are part of the passenger safety system, knowing and properly torquing them down is a must.
I thought about doing that to my focus but now I am second guessing it with all the work you had to do. Plus I don't wear short shorts so I may have a little less ass sweat...lol
I had to remove the seat in my Del Sol to try to clean the sweet coffee of the carpet, when I just got it. Could had use your help big time in clean it!
Hi Sarah. I got a similar producht from Gyeon. Fabric Coat. These are great products. The Gyeon can also be used to treat the soft top of a cabriolet. :)
I just purchased my second Forester from the salvage auction and the seats were stained almost like whoever had it before let their dog walk all over the seats with muddy paws or a dirty butt. I used a steamer with microfiber towel and it did nothing but leave water marks. Then used carpet cleaner in the can, scrub brush, and sucked it out with shop vac...failed again. It has the same exact material and pattern as yours except it is that light grey color that almost looks white so it shows every stain. I am thinking about pulling them out and using the pressure washer with some heavy duty/doody cleaner. Any thoughts or ideas before I try the pressure washer? Its almost like the stain is down in the cross sections of the pattern and the brush or steamer never actually touches the actual stain...it is very strange. I have cleaned many a seat, but never one as stubborn as these. Love your content, it has been very informative.
Good on you! Suggested to take them seats out long ago, mainly for ease of cleaning the rest of the interior. Pats self on the back Haha Dirt acts like sandpaper to break down the fibers.Especially the stitching. (AMMO NYC) Little Sarah... Lol OMG Hahaha 303 Fabric Guard for waterproofing > ALL
We call it " plether" over here in Australia Sarah. Pretend leather 😉and your not the only silly one who takes seats out to clean them im also guilty. Much easier to work on and alot easier to vac and shampoo under the seats 👍👍
Nice job, removing the seat is the best way to clean it. I mean, the seat looked clean to me when you started lol but I'm sure you can tell a difference in person. Side question: if that protector is nasty and not supposed to get on your skin, why would you put it on your seat where your skin will touch it?
Nice vid Sarah.... still beautiful even when laid upside down in a Forrester footwell 😉 Make sure you torque up those seat bolts aswell hun, don't trust the battery tools
G'day, Sarah! Nice humor! Thank you for doing "how to get your seats EXTRA clean!" By the way, a man just assaulted me with milk, cream and butter. How dairy. Cheers! 😊🚙✌🏼❤️
I never got notified of this video. :( Sarah, is the Bissell that you linked the heated version that you indicated you wanted? If not, could you link to the heated one that you prefer? When I buy one, I'd prefer you get credit for it from Amazon. I want to support your efforts since you provide so much fun and value with your videos.
Sarah, how do you clean your microfiber towels with these different chemicals/waxes/solutions on them? Washing machine? Soap and a bucket? Leave them outdoors in a rainstorm?
This is a timely video for me. I'm also looking to get a Ink mark off the the back of my Tacoma seat. I've been looking a at Subaru Forester's for my wife, since following your channel. They seem like a good size. Is the exhaust kinda loud going down the road? or does it smooth out a bit after startup? Thanks for your channel!
I know over here in the summer months pleather and even real leather takes a pounding from the direct sunlight if left in it 5 days a week at work etc and starts to cause cracking. How do yous go over there??
I can tell you how, it takes like 30 seconds to do it, super simple. Pop off the little plastic cylinder on the right, squeeze the glovebox near the hinges and pop it downward, the filter is right behind it.
Hey Sarah, bought a used car but new to me from a dealership. They detailed it for me and guess what. The whole hood has a hologram effect! No, not Jem and the Holograms but buffer marks! How do I get rid of them?
OMG, I found someone that is more OCD than I am. The world is a much scarier place..... That brush, is it a make-up brush or a detailing brush? Tech Tip -- when power washing your car, do not open the doors and spray the door, bad things happen with window switches and power locks (don't ask)
Hi Sarah. How to you clean your brush after use? And is final product you used make seat slippery or make it feel different than how it was? Thanks for the video.
The Vinyl on my left butt cheek on my driver seat been pealing off. What do you recommend I can do to fix this? Also do you experience weird swaying idling? I have a 2015 XT!
For your little Green Machine machine, I take it that particular one does not heat the water? If it does not, if one was going to purchase one, would you recommend one that heats the water or does hot tap water seem to do just fine?
Just remember if it heats the water sometimes the hot water can lock in odors, specifically pet odors you never want to use hot water on urine stains or anything of that nature. That’s why I have the clean machines that don’t heat so I can use it universally without worrying.
Fellow OCD carrier's question : Could soaking the area of the airbag stitching adversely affect the air bag in any way ? (i.e. once the stitching gets soaked, could the chemicals leak on to the bag, and have any ill effects ?) Inquiring minds want to know. :). Great video
Bună Sarah ! Im a romanian girl living in usa and i love yoir videos! I'm learning so much! Greetings from Indianapolis!
No one asked you to tell us where you are from
Ricardo dizco get lots
Ricardo Dickzo I'm free to say everything I want. OK? Get lost again and don't be rude anymore! Noroc!
Sarah it's always fun to see your smiling face and silly sense of humor and all the great information you give us Amateurs out here. Thanks for being you....!!!
you're a natural comedian, I laughed so much at your descriptions, brilliant

"It definitely beated off better than the other side". Good to see you're high spirits Sarah always a riot.
When my wife gives me crap for pulling my seats out I'm gonna tell her "But Sarah said it's mo better!!" Great vid.. thank you!
Bob Ellis Tattoos is for idiots
My dad sometimes uses a PVC pipe on the end of a wrench like you did with the one thing at 2:02. It's a great trick.
I just did an interior clean of this level on a car I thought was clean. Brushing in your cleaning product and wiping it off w a Microfiber really makes a difference. I love my clean car. Good tips, Sarah

yeah... I discovered that the hard way. If you have a power-probe though, you can power the seat motor and adjust it where you need it.
Sarah -n- Tuned ya that’s true if you know where to probe. Haha where to probe 😂😂😂

15yrs ago when I had a FD rx7 I removed the seats to clean like I normally do and found a Japanese news paper under the rear storage bin assembly
Seatbelt dongle? Love it!
been watching too many MacBook Pro reviews lately, lol
Hey Sarah! Thanks for showing the Bissell Green in action! I was thinking to buy one of those. Well done! Good water demo!
Hi from uk im a detailer using Teflon and ceramics everyday. Just seen some of your videos there great your beautiful too.

Thats gotta be the cleanest Subaru in the world 🤗.
luckiest seat too LOL.
sarah, you're the best.. :D love your videos. you always make me smile, thank you.
I use soap and water or just water and a wet dry vac. Seems to work pretty good. Mostly just water unless there is a staining substance in the materiel.
Another benefit of removing the seats is you can easily clean the carpets underneath. I've removed the seats from my car and its so much easier to clean!
Whenever I feel down you make my day
well done Sarah, you always seem to do a awesome job. Keep'em coming.....
Keep up the outstanding work. We love your content!

SUPER SARAH STRIKES AGAIN LOVE YOUR VLOGS THEY MAKE ME SMILE
I'm so envy of your talent, the only thing i can change in the car is the seat position. Love your vids, keep it up :)
I thought about doing that to my focus but now I am second guessing it with all the work you had to do. Plus I don't wear short shorts so I may have a little less ass sweat...lol
For the cloth part I would use scotch guard and for the fake leather a protectant that’s just how I do things
I wish Sarah didnt look like shes gonna cry at any minute. Lifes too short. Love the vids, keep it up Kid.
That look of panic as you tipped the seat back, haha.
Seat removal is definitely the way to go. Great job. 👍🏽
A clean butt is a happy seat, too! It’s a nice day out and this video makes me want to go clean my car now
Always great to watch, and thanks for your Tech-Tip "don´t break things". Made my day. :-)
I had to remove the seat in my Del Sol to try to clean the sweet coffee of the carpet, when I just got it. Could had use your help big time in clean it!
Try using an air brush, it work great when applying ceramic coating on seats.
Hi Sarah. I got a similar producht from Gyeon. Fabric Coat. These are great products. The Gyeon can also be used to treat the soft top of a cabriolet. :)

Did not really think of that. Thanks, I may try that vs risking getting seat related goodies wet with the power washer.
Great video Sarah as always you do very great work. The seats look great and the tip you got about the sealant is a good idea keep up the great work
If anything you are definitely dedicated to the cleanliness of your seats, hehe. Great video.
I'm pretty sure I got that applicator cloth with the glasses I ordered online!
Good on you! Suggested to take them seats out long ago, mainly for ease of cleaning the rest of the interior. Pats self on the back Haha
Dirt acts like sandpaper to break down the fibers.Especially the stitching. (AMMO NYC)
Little Sarah... Lol OMG Hahaha
303 Fabric Guard for waterproofing > ALL
I used to pull my seats once a week. Not to clean them, but to get all the shake & rolls out from underneath😂
I enjoy watching your videos.
Great video as always Sarah. Know I know how to remove my Crosstrek seats.... Phrasing.....
The phrase, "Method to the Madness," comes to mind. ;)
Thank you for the tech tips.
Convenient timing on this video. I need to clean the manky $500 Mustang before I spend too much more time in it.
Don't forget to grab ya factory build sheet under the seat sarah. 😎
We call it " plether" over here in Australia Sarah. Pretend leather 😉and your not the only silly one who takes seats out to clean them im also guilty. Much easier to work on and alot easier to vac and shampoo under the seats 👍👍
Hello from Bahrain... Keep up the good work...
Can you do a video on cleaning STI alcantara suede seats? Vids are Fire btw!
Next alcantara seat I get my hands on, I most definitely will!
Nothing wrong with removing seats! Last summer I ripped the front and backs out in my Monte Carlo just to shampoo the carpets lol
Nice job, removing the seat is the best way to clean it. I mean, the seat looked clean to me when you started lol but I'm sure you can tell a difference in person. Side question: if that protector is nasty and not supposed to get on your skin, why would you put it on your seat where your skin will touch it?
Nice vid Sarah.... still beautiful even when laid upside down in a Forrester footwell 😉
Make sure you torque up those seat bolts aswell hun, don't trust the battery tools
Wish I could find a how to on focus SVT rear brakes. Broke my bleeder valve and have to rebuild it 😭
I need to do that on my 02 Trailblazer but I'm afraid what I would find under the seat.
Eric - who knows; you might find enough spare change to pay for the cleaning product.
what do you do for fake leather seats that have holes in it?
Great renov
At 7:27 the word is " thingy " .
My Miata seats were "Loctite" ed in place by the manufacturer... Very hard to remove :(
G'day, Sarah! Nice humor! Thank you for doing "how to get your seats EXTRA clean!" By the way, a man just assaulted me with milk, cream and butter. How dairy. Cheers! 😊🚙✌🏼❤️

i was sweating when you took the yellow plug .. anyways awesome!!
you and me both, it was hot as hell in there!
Awesome video!

Excellent video 👍

Can you do another of those Seat vids but with Leather Seats?
For your little Green Machine machine, I take it that particular one does not heat the water? If it does not, if one was going to purchase one, would you recommend one that heats the water or does hot tap water seem to do just fine?
Yeah, this one is my roommates. I want to buy the heated one!

Hey, thanks for the help there Squidward. Good talkin' with you.
