My kids have made a right old state of the seats of our little Fiat 500. I would post pics but it is highly likely to result in the kids being taken into care. Question for you professional chaps is... "what is the most effective cleaner for cloth seats that look like something died on them?"

Thank you kindly.

It depends on how you intend to go about it to what product/s will be best.

Do you have a wet vac? or alike? if not then id most certainly go for a foam upholstery cleaner.

Basically thoroughly vacuum the interior, then spray the cleaner on the surface, treat a small area at a time and then agitate with a soft bristle brush (i personally like to use a soft nail brush) you might have to treat the area twice or even more times, then vacuum the area to remove the excess, if you don't have a vac that can handle water, you will need to use some form of microfiber cloth to remove the excess. Thats it really as far as carpets and fabric goes, for plastics just use a good general purpose cleaner and a cloth or if necessary you can use a soft brush to clean up in the grain.

Do it on a warm day and leave the windows down to let it properly air out and dry thoroughly, if you intend to let the kids back in there id think about maybe treating with a fabric protector once done to help keep it cleaner in the future,

Dose that help?
