    Woolite & water mix works great on leather and fabric. And it smells good.

    I mix it up in a small bucket and use a sponge to scrub the fabric.

    It will dry faster if you have an extractor, but if not you can use bath towels to soak up the excess.

    Prestone Interior Cleaner and Blue Coral Dri-Clean are a couple of OTC upholstery cleaners that have worked good for me.

    Folex is king of OTC cleaners in my book. It works on par with DP carpet cleaner but is much easier to get. You can find it at Target, Walmart, and some other places.

    After reading about Folex on here and another detailing site I bought two bottles. It works great! You can also get it at Home Depot and Lowe`s.

    oxyclean for fabrics and simple green as a spot/staing remover.

    woolite 1:6 for leather.

    note: if u dont favor the smell of simple green and dont have and extractor to suck the smell out of the moist fabric, u can always use folex, which is easy to find. i just use Simple green since i buy it by the 5 galoon tub!

    I`ve been on a Kids `N` Pets kick in recent weeks. A minivan, house carpets, a neighbors car. It works VERY well on carpet and cloth seats.

    You can find it at your local grocery store (Safeway in my area), and some Walmarts carry it too.
