Help Cleaning 07 HHR seats (please)

[smittysawd]

My sister has a 2007 Chevy hhr, she has all cloth seats, beige in color and they will not come 100 percent clean, they have water spots like no other. I have never come across a car interior that i cant get to come clean until now. She bought a McCullough heavy duty steamer because she thought it may clean them up. I told her it was prolly a bad idea to use it on them and im waiting to see what you guys say, didn't want here making them worse. Any Idea's?????





SEATS ARE DRIVING ME NUTS.. :think:



Please leave some feedback.

My wife's truck has cloth seats that are prone to water stains as well. If the seats are clean and you just want to rid them of water marks, this is what I do:



Clear water in a sprayer and wet the seats about evenly without saturating them. Then a damp white terry cloth wiped in the same direction, add a fan in the cabin to circulate air and dry as quickly as possible.



If dirty use Folex sprayed in the same manner and use a soft brush to lightly agitate, damp terry towel, then an extractor w/ clear water (I use a Bissel LGM) - if no extractor spray w/ clear water then wet/dry vac and add the fan.



I don't have any experience w/ a steamer but imagine it would do a fine job.
