Anyone have any specific products they know works to get stains out of grey carpet and grey seats i had them steam cleaned and the stain re-appered two weeks later

 

Maybe try oxy clean. That stuff takes stains out of damn near everything.

 

Believe I have the same upholstry- just spilling water on it makes a mark. I've had decent luck with Blue Coral Dri-Clean in the pump spray.

Anybody had good results with a preventative treatment?

 

Your right anything in the world would make those damn things stain I would love to get them wrapped in leather but money is always an issue

 

Another option is Folex. This is a great stain/spot remover and it doesn't have an odor. This can be found at Lowes or Walmart.

 

Whatever you decide...make sure you scotchguard afterwards...this will make future cleanings a lot easier..

 

Oh and my vote is for meguiar's quick out carpet and upholstery cleaner...meguiar's and bissell came together on that product and i have heard rave reviews..never tried it but i would bet on the advice from the gurus on this site...good luck

 

what should i steam clean with that won't damage the seats and the center console?? My truck looks like crap because of the water stains all over the inside.

 

Same problem here. My '06 would still look brand new if it wasn't for the water stains on my seats and console cover (60/40 seat). I'm thinking about looking into recovering the console with a matching vinyl at least for now. Any recommendations?

My seats look like trash. I wish I had some warning so I could've taken some kind of preventative measures. But who would have thought that WATER of all things would stain our interiors? Ford really needs to reconsider that choice of fabric.

I'm about to give the Blue Coral, a brush and some elbow grease a try. If it works out I'll keep you posted.

 

I spent a few hours on my seats last night with the Blue Coral, a brush and a wet vac and it really worked pretty well. I had a couple of stains that wouldn't quite come out -- one was a small dot from a Sharpie and the other was a small spill of some children's liquid medicine -- but overall my seats look pretty decent.

The main problem, you cannot clean patches or sections... you have to clean the entire seat. Even after a thorough wet vac, a blow dryer and sitting out in the heat of the sun all day, the seats dried slightly darker than they were originally. As long as you do the entire seat, it looks pretty good.

So, should I Scotchguard it now?

 

I once bought a white Ford Bronco with blood stains on the door handles, door panels, steering wheel, seat belt, and dash.

 

I have a grey interior as well, oxy clean works amazingly well. Beats anything I have ever tried.

Did that white Bronco have a glove in it

 

It didn't fit. They had to acquit.

 

OXI MAGIC BY ARMORALL...........

Spray, let it sit for a minute or two, and then scrub with a white cloth.

Afterwards treat all the fabric with scothguard....



Works great.

 

yea...I have the same problem. I have the gray cloth seats and whatever cleaner I use it leaves a mark as well.
