Best Upholstery Cleaner

The best upholstery cleaner for keeping your favorite pieces of furniture is waiting for your humble vacuum. Its empty, you probably have an attachment designed just for your upholstered furniture. Use this as part of your weekly routine, and you will not have to worry about cleaning your furniture more largely.

^ doesn't really answer the OP's question...

I've used several products over the years, but set in stains are the hardest. You might be able to not fully remove it, but at the very least change the depth of the visual portion of seeing it. Try usuing 303 Carpet and Upholstery cleaner. Before trying that I would use a baking soda and water mixture. Rub it over the stain, not forciong it in to the seat. Let is sit for 15 minutes then vac it up.

if it is that bad perhaps finding out how much a seat would run from a junk yard?

i am quite fond of "Folex" carpet cleaner. spray on, massage off with a rag. Works wonders.

After eons of wanting one, I recently picked up a Bissell Little Green Machine. I was floored by how much shit that thing sucked out of my seats, not to mention the carpets. Highly recommended.

I ended up giving mine away. I used it on my house carpet, and I quickly figured out that depending on the pile of the carpet, the result would be different. I'm sure for the tight low pile of the auto carpet it works great!

yeah pretty sure not all carpet applied by steam or extractor gives you the comfort of your own.
