What do you guys use to clean your cloth seats? And I don’t mean just vacuum them...do you use a carpet type of cleaning vacuum of some kind? I’ve seen a few on Amazon but with iffy reviews....what’s the secret with this one? Thanks !

Be careful of what products you use, I have fabric seats and used a carpet cleaner we have for the house on a rag for a small stain and it took the black color right out of the fabric. Luckily it was a very small spot. I learned my lesson, and use upholstery cleaner only on these seats

Set of rough country neoprene seat covers for $170. Buy the time they look like crap and ready to replace, you will have spent just as much on chemical guys or other cleaners. Just a suggestion.

Oh, and the cover add a lil extra plush too.

Spray it on and rub it with a cotton or microfiber towel. My other truck had light colored seats and carpet never any issue with discoloration. It does a good job on the JTs black seats

I use a bucket with water an a scoop of laundry detergent. Vacuum first then scrub thoroughly with a hand brush. Shop vac gets them mostly dry then air dry for an hour or so. Interior smells like fresh laundry!

OP, trust this advice. Not only is this as effective as any other treatment but it's dirt cheap too. Diluted detergents, or diluted all purpose cleaners are pennies compared to dedicated carpet cleaners.

This attachment will get your seats 90% dry in 10 minutes of work. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-...ory-for-Wet-Dry-Shop-Vacuums-VT2540/100391210

I will need to try this. Want to clean my seats before they go under seat covers next week. Didn't want to buy any product since they are the last cloth thing left in there (carpets are gone)
