What are the steps for cleaning car seats?

Car seat cleaning methods are as follows: 1. Cleaning method for velvet fabric seats: In addition to being difficult to remove liquid stains like plain fabric materials, velvet materials are also prone to pilling. When using velvet seats daily, it is important to promptly remove pilling and keep the seat surface clean. 2. Cleaning method for plain fabric seats: When not very dirty, use a long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner with strong suction to brush the seat surface while sucking out dirt. Vacuum at least once a month, and usually pat with a dry towel. When particularly dirty, use a brush to clean the dirtier areas, then use a clean cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral detergent to wipe the entire seat surface while semi-dry and semi-wet. Wipe the fiber surface with a dry cloth, and finally let the seat fibers dry completely.
Cleaning car seats is actually quite simple. Since I have a dog, I often deal with this issue. The first step is to sweep away all visible debris and crumbs, then use a vacuum cleaner to thoroughly remove dust and hair from the seat crevices and backrest folds. Next, tackle the stains: for fabric seats, I spray them with upholstery cleaner, wait five minutes for it to penetrate, then gently scrub with a soft brush—being careful not to brush too hard to avoid damaging the fibers. For leather seats, I use a dedicated leather foam cleaner and follow up with a conditioning cream to prevent cracking. After cleaning, remember to use a dry towel to absorb excess moisture and open the windows for ventilation to ensure the seats are completely dry before use, otherwise they can easily develop mold. The entire process takes about an hour, and doing it once a month keeps the seats clean and hygienic.
