What do you guys use to clean/protect cloth seats?

The seats in my 2006 FX4 are a new material to me. Most cloth interiors are different then these seats. What do you guys use to clean/protect them?

Thanks in advance!

depends on how bad the spots are... i have tan which everything is more visable than the darker cloth.... i tried everything above with OK results, but the only way i was able to get them really clean was with a Little Green Machine... i think they run $90 from target, but well worth it. works great on the carpet too

Steam Cleaning them is the only way to get them clean everything else leaves spots. After i gave mine a good steam cleaning i got a real nice pair of seat covers. These seats are the worst part of the truck.

I had been having good luck with Blue Coral Upholstery Dry Clean, but a couple of weeks ago, my dog had a cut foot and got blood spots on ***** front seats. The Blue Coral did pretty well with the spots but this time, left big rings where I had worked it. I got the Oxyclean, mixed it in purified water, and used a towel to scrub the entire seat bottom and the top of the console. Had to change towels as a lot of dirt came out. let it dry over night and you can not see where there was ever a spot. Worked perfectly.

If I ever clean a car with cloth seats, I use the LGM with some APC. It works great and takes all dirt/spots/ almost anything out.
