Question · Interior Detailing
How do you remove stains from car seats?
Different stains need different chemistry. Coffee, soda, and food: enzymatic cleaner plus hot water extraction. Ink and dye: solvent-based spot treatment. Vomit, urine, and biohazard: enzymatic plus deodorizer plus extraction.

WHEN THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT CALL
When to pick something else.
Do not use bleach or oxygen-based cleaners on colored fabric. You will lighten the seat permanently. Do not use leather conditioner on cloth seats; it dries hard and looks worse.
FAQS
Common follow-up questions.
Will the stain come back after it dries?
Sometimes. If it does, it means we extracted the visible part but the source is still in the padding. Second pass usually fixes it. Third pass means it is permanent.
Can you get old set-in stains out?
Often yes, sometimes no. Older than a year is harder. Honest answer: we can usually reduce the visibility 70-90 percent. Completely invisible: not always.
What about pet urine on cloth?
Enzymatic cleaner is non-negotiable. Without enzymes you just dilute the urine and spread it. Sometimes the carpet padding underneath also needs to be replaced — we can tell after the first pass.

The detailer is an extremely upfront and honest man. He told me he couldn't help me with my issue and instead of shutting me down, he made multiple suggestions of competitors who might be able to. I will use him…
