Thank you for this!!! I’m the friend with really bad cloth seats so I needed this😅
I purchased myself a shop vac a couple of weeks ago (got the last one on shelf, due to corona stocks being super low in my area) and will be doing this to the family van for sure next week. Thank you for sharing.
They come in handy. Im really glad I have one for so many situations. Im glad this video could be of help. Stay safe and take care !

YES ! Dollar tree is the best ! And normally they carry it !,
Yes!! I use that! 😊
Definately,I use it all the time.
Thanks. Some people make everything into a hollywood production
@@carlojoseph5858 I feel silly but do you mean all-purpose cleaner I use in my home or is there a secret genre of car all-purpose cleaners??
Thankyou for this. I’ve started getting into detailing as a hobby and really enjoying it. I’m waiting to buy a shampooer but just want to try cleaning my seats as well as my dads already so Thankyou for sharing your knowledge
Thanks so much for making a video for all us Chevy/Pontiac owners!
🤣
This was a 9 minute master class friend. You're a bad dude with a brush.
Just got a used Ford Focus and it’s pretty dirty inside, this really helped :) thank you!

Such a soothing voice 😌
This was really helpful I'm currently cleaning my dad's old Prius and there are a ton of sweat stains on the center console and driver seat! I thought I would have to keep them like that🤮🤮 thank you so much for this!
No problem! Thanks for watching I'm so glad it helped!
Urgh
Excellent job...thanks for the tips
Glad it was helpful!
Gonna give it a shot. Thanks for the vid!
This was pretty entertaining at 2X speed... dood seems jazzed to clean some SEATS!
😂😂😂
LOL😂 I’m gonna do this right NOW
Nice job!Thank you for sharing. I really like this way cause don't want to spend tons of money for some professional vaccum extractors etc.
Good video! Well said!
Cool man. I took home two legacy front seat for my impreza. I found them at a wrecker in a rural area. They where inside the legacy but since the nearby field where doing manure spreading, they stink a little bit 🙄😔 So, yes, thx for the good advice on cleaning.

I use Tide liquid detergent on fabric. It works great.
He is right Mcquire s products are super good! Thanks for reminding us! All Mcquires products get the job done!!
I have started getting small creases on right hand side on drivers side near the edge on the seat , it's a 2004 Corolla T3 3 door hatchback RH drive , any ideas how to fix this without reupholstery or to minimize this ,,,,, , would an iron work
Do you vacuum again after steaming? Does it dry well if not?
Hello, my seats are clean but there is a slight smell in the mornings, i think i want to go next level with the steamer. What type you recommend? I am located in EU and not US. Thank you
I was listening to this while cleaning my car. I was carrying the dish soap when I hear "I don't recommend dish soap"... LOL.
Is the vaacum cleaner you used is different from the ones we are using at home?
Not at all, It's actually just a 50$ mastercraft vacum that I purchased at Home depot. You can find these anywhere. They are inexpensive and they are both wer\dry. I have more videos describing the products I use that you can easily find yourself on my channel.
Thanks Carlo!
I use diluted isopropyl alcholcol and hand brush to agitate the fibres , it got rid of a makeup stain out of the drivers seat , the previous owner left
@Carlo Joseph Have leanred How to Clean cloth car seats,may I know if it's ok for you to review our foam cannon S V3.0?Thanks in advance!☺
Do you know how to remove dry hand sanitizer from cloth seats? Mine looks likes permanent and I tried to get a detailed to get it off and they can't
Hey Carlos enjoy your vids many thanks ! One question what model steamer or what brand steamer is it?
I just put a link to it in the description box as well as the comments !
Will I need to adjust my shopvac to the wet mode or would it be okay to leave it on dry vac?
That's cool that you have a mode! Wet mode for sure!
Can a steamer fade a black upholstery?
Can I use a regular household vacuum or will it mess up the vacuum? And if I just cleaned the stained area would it leave a water stain? Should I clean the whole seat?
Only a wet/dry vac will work. Yours might be okay but only if it's able to suck up water and soap as well! As long as you are using an APC it shouldn't leave a stain. :)
I'll have to pick up one of those steamers.
Definitely clean your car people, no need to finance a new car if your issue is really with the stained seating.
My car manual says use dawn dish soap. And I have a 2020 Honda Accord
hey! i hope u will be able to answer, can i do all this without vacuuming it at the end, does it affect it in some way? because i dont have the right vacuum and i want to clean the seats and i like the results without the vacuuming, is it alright to just air dry the seats?
and is there any alternative other than vacuuming the liquid out of the seats
100%. Leave the windows down a crack overnight. It should air dry.
@@pik9luke the microfiber cloth will pickup alot of liquid. However you still need to vaccum.
would a spray bottle filed with water and a drop of laundry detergent work?
This isn't something I've tried, I tend to stay away from laundry based products when I'm detailing. All purpose cleaner is also easier and cheaper. I'd say just go with that :)
I spilt apple sauce and use turtle wax which was recommended to me and I have a huge stain now. And before I had a who cream stain as well and used a leather seat cleaner by mistake. What would you recommend
La's Totally awesome cleaner- Link is in Bio for amazon purchase :)
Maguire brand is amazing!
What cleaner are ya using (ALL PURPOSE CLEANER) great video as well.
LA'S TOTALLY AWESOME!

@@carlojoseph58589:02
Can I use it on my heated seats?
Why was I overly excited to see he’s cleaning the he same seats I have 😄
Can you share the link to where you got the steamer? Curious as to how much it is
Link is in the description!
@@carlojoseph5858 around 6:34 did you spay the seats again with water and vacuuming at the same time ?
Any recommendations for seats that seem to be rayon material? Just water stains these seats!
This technique can be applied to all materials of seats.
Whats wrong with dish soap you never said why not to use it
It’s for dishes...
They literally use it for animals though lol
Well it creates more stains lol I used it to clean my car seats before I found this video and it caused an oil looking stains 🙄
Its not all that bad, they both work but I find all purpose cleaners are better suited for it specifically stains and marks in the seat. Both are good for disinfecting but all purpose cleaners leave a better look
Edit: I forgot to add, there are also cleaners made specifically for cloth, if you are going to buy a cleaner the cloth cleaners are best suited for these seats and interiors
I seen someone use dish soap on UA-cam and it was fine and came up really good
Hey Carlos, I spilled the juice from some food in my trunk a while ago and the smell still kind of lingers and I was wondering how you would get the smell out?
I don’t know if he’ll answer you, but if you’ve cleaned it the best you can, throw some charcoal in something open for a couple of hot days.
@@redd8456 thanks bro
Sorry I missed this, if the smell still lingers. Try leaving coffee grounds in wherever the smell is the strongest for a day or so. Gets rid of smells, an old detailing trick!
@@carlojoseph5858 Baking Soda helps absorb and neutralize odors if left on upholstery and carpet for a few days. Bacteria is the reason for the terrible odors.
Thanks carlo I will do that next week very nice video Thanks for sharing 👍
My Pleasure ! Be sure to check out my other videos for helpful car cleaning tips and tricks ☺️👍
can you put some cleaning agent into the steamer and also use the steam on plastics and rubber to get all of the grease and shit off?
No need to put it into the steam cleaner. Just use a microfiber towel with an APC and wipe down before and even after steam cleaning. The hot water in the steam is more than enough.
You can use the steam itself to clean most dirt on rubber/plastic surfaces
I just bought a used car. It was a hunting suv. We are talking serious red mud. Where would you start?
Hi,
You probably won't see this, but I was gifted a 2014 Nissan Juke with cloth seats, I was told all purpose cleaner takes off the fabric protectant? Is there a way to restore it? A way to protect the seats in the long run?
There are many protectants available in most detailing sections of large stores. However, I have found that APC doesn't take off fabric protectant any more than time will.. so either way it comes off :(
Why should we not use dish soap? Will it damage the fabric? Will Resolve spray work?
Dish soap can often leave what people call "water stains" on certain fabric or carpet seats. I explain in the video why it's best to use an all purpose cleaner. Or specifically a shampoo for car interior.
Dish soap can be used on some surfaces. But you get better results with an APC.
Resolve may work. However I find it very chemically and toxic to breathe in. I'd look for some simple APC cleaners/degreasers instead.
Carlo Joseph any suggestions for getting out water marks
@@jonathonhasling4295 water stains can be tough. I find the best method is to actually just extract the seats. But if you don't have an extractor. An all purpose cleaner and a wet/dry vac to "extract" the water out also works well. Every material can be different.
I heard that dish soap leaves a weird scent as well. Is that true?
Could you drop a link to buy the steamer
"H20 HD" steamer
This is perfect too! Chevy Cobalt's have THE WORST kind of Cloth seats. They will stain even if you're careful.
Awesome! Can I adopt you?
My seats aren't stained, but the fabric is hard and matted. How would you clean fabric to make it soft again? It seems like the previous owner used dish soap to clean them.
It probably needs a professional extraction- you might be solid to do a run through with APC and hot water
Can you use purple blaster to clean seats?
I'm not familiar with this product, could you share it with me? I may just not have it here with me in Canada.
Insert vaping jokes now lmao..ok all jokes aside..amazing job!!
Wow who gave this guy access to my car seats to film this. 😮
Just got a car for my 16th birthday and it’s a hand-me-down so the seats are horrendous lol, thanks for the video and love the hat!!!
Happy belated birthday! and thank you :)
@@carlojoseph5858 thanks ! :D
can i ask what car?
epic birthday present!
@@MinTrueno I think it’s a 2008 Chrysler Sebring (not the convertible one lol) it was my grandpas :) and yeah it’s pretty epic lol
Mr. Joseph, thank you for the nice presentation. I have a dilemma, and I hope you see this comment. I have a car with light tan seats, and I have a few stains, believe it or not, some were caused by me trying to clean stains with water, but it caused even more stains. I do not have fancy equipment. Is there a chemical that I can buy at a local auto parts store to help get my stains out. The detail shop wanted $165 to do it. I don't have that kind of scratch. Thank you and to others who may have ideas. BMM
La’s totally awesome carpet or all purpose cleaner and a dollar tree microfibre towel with scrubbing. Grab your vacuum and try to suck all of the excess moisture out. Hopefully this works!
@@carlojoseph5858 Mr. Joseph, thank you. I will try it and will let you know the results. Thanks, BMM
@@carlojoseph5858 Mr Joseph, I tried the La's Cleaner and microfiber cloth. (I have pictures of it and my seats, before and after), and it was of ZERO, NO help at all. There was NO improvement. The only silver lining was the cleaner only cost me a $1 at the dollar store. Well, I guess you get what you pay for.

@@wkrp71 sounds like you need a detailer if that did not help! Sometimes it’s best to let us do it!
How do you get the smell out of the cloth seats from someone who smoked. I bought a used truck and the person that owned it before smoked and I need to have it detailed
Exactly what you said Joanne, you most likely need to have it detailed. Aside from the smoke smell they can properly and professionally disinfect it for you much better than you could at home because of their tools and experience.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I was wondering if you could share how to get rid of gum stuck between the seats?
Normally I'd just go about steam cleaning it. Because it is so sticky. However when I don't have steam I use goo gone (automotive) for those sticky gums and food situations on seats.
I have a video where I reference the goo gone automotive in this video - ua-cam.com/video/RlHtIbmD-SI/v-deo.html
@@carlojoseph5858 Thank you for the the reply! Have a lovely rest of your day sir. :)
Ice helps make the gum hard and easier to get off
Use RUBBING ALCOHOL and a toothbrush to scrub the sticky away after peeling as much of the gum away as possible. Ice will make the gun hard enough to pull off with tweezers or needle nose pliers.
Carlo's Auto Detailing can i use soda bicarbonate to clean the dirt
Where can you get all purpose cleaner?
literally anywhere
Is it ok to use a normal vacuum?
Of course. Use whatever you have available. Anyone can have great outcomes detailing at home!
i was going to pay 120 for a interior detailing.... anyways i’m on my way to meijer now 😂😂😂
Im glad I could be of help. But also it is important to support your local detailer! Choose a small guy like me ! :)
Is it bad if you do this without vacuuming up the moisture after? Will it make more stains if you let it air dry?
Yes! Please vaccum it up lol
@@carlojoseph5858 oops, wish i had seen this before i went off to do it without a vacuum lmao. is there any hope for me?
@@princessnerdfighter im sorry man I tried to respond right away haha! It all depends on how much liquid you used I guess !
You said the purpose of the steamer was to get the salt out. But I don’t quite understand why you steam the seat if there is no salt there. Can you please explain?
Good question! - I meant that steam can help get salt out of carpets\cloth in general, if you check out my channel I have a video specifically for salt removal techniques with and without a steamer on car carpets. In this video I just use the steam as an 'extra' step to help disinfect the seats further as it also kills 99.9% of germs, makes them smell fresh and new and not to mention it helps in the stain removal process. Hope that helps!
Can I use the a normal vacuum to suck the water and dirt from the seats? I mean it's that ok? It won't broke the vacuum?
Best to use a wet\dry vac. I can't say if your vac will be okay to use.
Thanks
What brand of steamer is that?
Check out the h20 HD
Or what would I ask for if I go to Walmart or a Convention store
Can I use any kind of multipurpose cleaner/ degreaser?
Any all purpose cleaner is good!
Please mention how many micrfibre towels you use (a few, 10 15, 20...) so the viewer will know if he should buy more towels.
Why don't you recommend dish soap liquid?
I think because dish soap is meant to be washed off and if it's not completely taken out can stain
does this process also work for black car seats? thank you
Absolutely it does ! As soon as you see soap suds from your cleaner, you know its working.
No. Only front passenger seat. If you even think about trying the back seats I'll call the authorities on you
Is the steam cleaner optional?
Of course, as I said in the video it's just something I wanted to show you guys. Some of the pros steam clean the seats to kill Germs and make it smell nice and clean.
Carlo you remind me of a young Bob Ross, if you don't know who he search him. Good job!
so why should i not use dish soap? does it damage the car seats? or is it just because the all purpose cleaner works better/will be cheaper in the long run
BOTH!
"We're JUST gonna agitate the stain... JUST agitate it." Felt like a Bob Ross show!
We don't make stains, just happy little accidents! ...... OK, it does *not* land like Bob Ross in this context!
Is degreaser or diluted degreaser good?
Absolutely. Dilute as needed/necessary
He's like Bob ross for detailing lol

I would use a drill with a scrub brush attachment. That is what I did with my seat. A lot less work.
Nice video.
Are you using a conventional vaccum cleaning or does yours aspire water as well?
I'd like to know this too
it is not an extractor. Just a regular wet\dry vac!
You mentioned you wouldn't use dish soap. How about diluted laundry detergent?
For heavy carpet stains yes- for cloth seats no
