Ok I want to clean the carpet and the seats but what do I need to do? Do I just need to buy a steam cleaner and go over everything or what would you guys recommend for doing all the cloth? Thanks guys!

 

Anyone please? Or has this been covered pretty well already?

 

How dirty are the seats? I found a spray foam called TuffStuff that seems to take out most light to mild stains.

thats what i use .. seems to get out most the stuff

 

Tuff Stuff is good stuff. Get a bucket of hot water and a towel and spray on the Tuff Stuff and wipe it all down with the hot/damp towel.

We have an awesome carpet shampoo/steamer machine that has hand attachments for cleaning furniture and stairs. That works great for cars and trucks too. It has been the one of the better purchases we have made in awhile especially since we are in the middle of raising an Italian Greyhound puppy in the winter. Rough housetraining.

 

I actually have some coffee stains from about 2 years ago in my cloth seats,, to be honest i havent really attempted to do much about it , but i am gonna give that TUFF Stuff a try .. i hope this works

 

I'd recommend Meguiar's APC+. It's a concentrated all purpose cleaner. The + means it has fabric softener in it. I worked well with getting a black coffee stain out of my light gray seats. It's pretty strong stuff, so make sure to let it air out. I dilute it 10:1 and use a chemical resistant spray head. Check out ADS for it all.

 

On real tough stains I use Break cleaner. Then I wipe with a clean cloth.

One suggestion to all those out there with the nightmare that is "microfiber" cloth seats that the geniuses at Ford decided to bless us with...

Buy an inexpensive nail brush, like they sell at autozone with the hand cleaner...

Then just use it to briskly brush out the seats... with or without the Tuff Stuff, it actually gets out the stains!

It was like a "dirty little secret" I accidentally found!

Just brush them out...

But the Tuff Stuff works wonders too, especially on the carpet.

 

I as well need to clean up the seats. Brand new '08 and my cloth is already getting dirt/oil stains from work (I install fire sprinkler systems, and the cutting oil gets everywhere). I started thinking of seat covers, but that's not the point to having the new truck with a nicer interior, I don't want to cover it all up. Then I tell myself it IS a truck....
