Hi there,

What is the best way to clean fabric car seats?

I have a carpet cleaning machine and chemicals etc.

Do you have to pre-spray?

Depends how dirty, sweaty or spunky they are

Thats all you need, plus an old towel to catch any overspray.

Depends how dirty they are. Most car seats are 100% synthetic, so they
don't stain very much, pre spray 'wets out' the fabric & makes cleaning
easier.

Thanks, there is something that confuses me though..

I know quite a few valeters who simply spray a solution (usually APC),
agitate it and use a wet vac to suck all the moisture out.

They do this on carpets and seats.

Is this method as effective as hot water extraction?

No. But its quick & cheap. Valeters are by & large thick cheapskates.
There is precious little money in valeting these days, so they cut cost
wherever possible.

Will only give surface soil removal. Likely to leave a chemical residue
which will attract dirt in future.
