Cleaning XLT Seats

schnur7 · 03-21-2009, 07:41 AM

Has anyone gotten their seats dirty and tried cleaning them? I'm looking to buy a used 2005 XLT and the seats are pretty dirty. The guy worked at a concrete plant and got the seats a little dingy. The material seems like it would clean up ok, but wondering if anyone has had any experience.

thanks

You can buy "dry" foam products from any auto store that do a pretty good job. However the best way is take it to a shop and have them steam cleaned.

I have a little green machine come on over I will let you use it I live in TEXAS. Or buy one there not much. If not buy those foam products that have a brush to scrub the seats.
Take care! GMC

That ought to clean up real well. Concrete dust is not that bad. I would think any carpet cleaner with an upholstery attachment should handle the job. And this may sound dumb, but I use a hoover carpet machine, and I buy that Great Value Orange carpet cleaner at Walmart. Its cheap, and it cleans carpets better than anything else I have used, even the expensive stuff. Also has a nice citrus smell when you are done.

Sounds like I'm in for a good road trip from Oregon to Texas!
