cleaning cloth seats??

Does anyone know of a good way or product to use on the grey cloth seats? Mine are starting to look bad. I ride atvs a lot and tend to drag dirt and mud in it. I've got a rug doctor machine that works Awsome in the house. But never tried it in a vehicle. I just want it to look as close to new as I can. It seems everything stains these seats. I'll eventually put leather in it but for now it just needs cleaned. Suggestions please.

Mothers Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. My favorite. Check out my interior on the other thread I just started...9 years old and 120,000 with two kids. They've had everything you can imagine on them. I spray directly on spots or stains to let it soak for a few. Then take a microfiber cloth damp with the same cleaner and start scrubbing. Has always worked for me. And I love the smell of just about everything Mothers makes so that's a bonus.

That thing look beautiful. Looks new. It's nice to see someone take pride in what they own. Some people just don't take care of their vehicles. It's a shame. They are much nicer to drive when you keep them like new. Plus it'll pay off when its time to get a new one. I'm gonna try out some mothers cleaner. And maybe use my rug doctor as well. Between four wheeling and the kids its pretty dirty. I also know the cloth in the newer trucks stains super easy. It's a different material than yours. I don't know if they used a recycled material or what. But it sucks. Oh well. Here goes nothing. If I screw it up then I will get my leather quicker. Lol

I've got some folex in the house. Stuff is amazing. It took red kool aid out of white carpet after it was stained a month. Also took out nail polish. I forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder. Maybe ill put it in the rug doctor. Should work good.

I have a Hoover rug scrubber and use it in my truck all the time. It really does work great. My seats were stained and the cloth was dry. After running the scrubber through it the seats have come back to life. They have that dark tone to them again and don't seem to stain as easily. I usually do the seats and carpet once a month just to keep on top of it.

I wish I had the time to spend cleaning it like I want. But life tends to get in the way. Lol I wash it and clean the wheels about two or three times a week. But by the time I'm done,I'm wore out. Lol so inside gets a little neglected. Yet another use for tinted Windows. Lol
