How to Clean Car Interior Fabric?

First, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the fabric ceiling. Use a wrung-out damp cloth to gently wipe the entire surface of the fabric ceiling. Then, allow the fabric ceiling to air dry naturally. Using a cloth that is too wet will make the fabric ceiling overly damp, making it difficult to dry thoroughly, which can lead to water stains or mold. For water stains or heavily soiled areas, you can use a specialized interior cleaner for cleaning.
I found that the most effective way to clean fabric car seats is a combination of vacuuming and specialized foam cleaner. First, use a car vacuum to thoroughly remove debris and dust from the seams. Then, shake the foam cleaner well and spray it evenly on the fabric surface. Wait two minutes to let the foam break down the stains, then gently scrub in circular motions with a slightly damp soft-bristle brush. For stubborn stains, you can reapply the foam once. Finally, wipe off the foam with a clean, damp towel. After cleaning, it's best to leave the windows open for half a day to air dry—avoid using the heater to dry them quickly, as this can leave water marks. Also, remember to use separate cleaning tools for different colored fabrics to prevent dye transfer. Doing this maintenance once a month will keep your seats fresh and clean.
