    hey everybody,





    I used an extractor on my cloth seats to get up some stains that looked like coffee or soda or something of that nature. Turns out, all I did was pull the stains to the top of the seats and now they are worse



    Did I saturate the seats too much? what did I do wrong? How do I fix it???

    Use 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover, lightly spray and let dwell

    Then use a 16:1 solution clean distilled hot water / 303â„¢ Cleaner & Spot Remover or P21S Total Auto Wash in the extractor tank

    When I cleaned my seats last I used a LGCM and I had to extract with clean water repeatedly. The carpet cleaner was very effective at breaking down the stains and ground in dirt but I had to rinse and rinse and rinse to get it all out.
    Insert witty quip here...

    I was afraid I used too much water. You think I just needed to keep on extracting huh. Well, I will try that. The dirt and grime was still coming up, I guess I just need to be more patient.



    So I guess I did pull the stains up to the surface, but quit too early. If I would have kept on, the stains would have come out?

    I just bought the new Resolve "dual power" spot carpet cleaner and used it last night on some stains and it worked really well.
