Lint removal from velour seats?

What's a good way to get the "lint" out of velour seats? (VW-Passat kind for example.)

A few techniques I've heard of and tried worked well with my Jetta. One way is to put on one of those rubber gloves you would use for dishwashing and rub it off with that. Another is to just use a lint brush, not the kind that sticks but the kind that has a velour feel to it, ironic isn't it

I know how much a pain in the *** our interiors are to clean so good luck man.

THe brush is the best I've found. You can get them in the grocery store. That's what we use for car shows.

You should be able to get good results using your vacuum along with the brush attachment tool. That process usually works well when you brush and vacuum in one direction rather than going back and forth.

Keep in mind that getting the lint off of those velour seats in the Jettas is not easy. It will usually take some time to brush and vacuum them completely clean.

A cheap way to get a vast majority of the lint up before you vacuum or whatever is to scrunch up a length of sticky tape into a ball and roll it over the seats.

Quite effective I have found!
