Cleaning upholstery
« on: September 18, 2009, 11:08:17 pm »
Whats good for cleaning upholstery? I spilt some clear liquid on the grey part of the seat recently and wiped it down with water to help remove it.  But now i'm left with a water mark.. any tips on how to get rid of it?

try this:-

Buy a spray bottle & use @ at 20 to 1.

Spray on & wipe down with a clean cloth.

Cheap, but I have found very effective. : :smiley:

Cheers guys, I'll give the spray a go and if it doesn't shift the marks then i'll let the professionals take over.

Before the leather in the VRS the standard cream seats were a nightmare. I actually found autoglym interior shampoo, white bottle green label to be briliiant, shifted all the marks no bother. Or try Megs APC diluted 1-10 or 1-4 if it doesnt shift with the 1-10! It probably will though!  :happy2:

Did you manage to get the marks out in the end?
