The fabric quickly absorbs any spills, making them hard to remove if not taken care of quickly.

We will discuss using a dedicated shampoo extraction machine, as well as using microfibre cloths.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_6c4e4d-a0:not(.this-class-is-for-specificity):not(.class-is-for-specificity){margin-bottom:30px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_6c4e4d-a0 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px;border-top:1px solid currentColor;border-right:1px solid currentColor;border-bottom:1px solid currentColor;border-left:1px solid currentColor;border-top-left-radius:3px;border-top-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-right-radius:3px;border-bottom-left-radius:3px;box-shadow:2px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);max-width:448px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_6c4e4d-a0 .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_6c4e4d-a0 .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_6c4e4d-a0 .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:20px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_6c4e4d-a0 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{border-top:1px solid currentColor;border-right:1px solid currentColor;border-bottom:1px solid currentColor;border-left:1px solid currentColor;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_6c4e4d-a0 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{border-top:1px solid currentColor;border-right:1px solid currentColor;border-bottom:1px solid currentColor;border-left:1px solid currentColor;}}<\/style>\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve also included other articles on the site about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/best-way-to-clean-leather-car-seats\/\">how to clean your leather car seats<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/best-way-to-clean-car-seats\/\">best way to clean car seats<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fcb3db-4d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fcb3db-4d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_fcb3db-4d\"]{margin-bottom:20px;font-style:normal;color:#0a1931;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fcb3db-4d mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fcb3db-4d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_fcb3db-4d\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#ffc947;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_fcb3db-4d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_fcb3db-4d\">Products to Shampoo Car Seats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To start with, you\u2019ll need to select a fabric shampoo.

Then divide the volume of your bottle, in this case, 1000 ml, by the ratio number ten. This gives us 100 ml, so we add 100 ml of product to the bottle and dilute it with 900 ml of water.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_ab3c29-e3 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_ab3c29-e3\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-01-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-3834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-01-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-01-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-01-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-01-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-01-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-01-1-788x591.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-01-1-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thoroughly vacuum the seats to remove dust and any loose dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_e624f3-0b .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_e624f3-0b\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-11-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-3825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-11-1.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-11-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-11-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-11-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-11-1-788x1050.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-11-1-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, liberally apply the carpet cleaning solution to the seat and momentarily allow to soak in.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_bafb93-4b .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_bafb93-4b\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-10-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-3826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-10-1.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-10-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-10-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-10-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-10-1-788x1050.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-10-1-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the brush, agitate the cleaning solution, applying more if necessary.

Then spray the cleaning solution liberally onto the seat, using the brush, agitate the shampoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add some cleaning solution into the tank of your extraction machine; however, I prefer to use ordinary water to spray onto the seat. Doing this means you\u2019ll not be adding any extra cleaning solution to the seats, allowing you to remove all the shampoo you added in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pull the extractor head along the seat while pressing the spray trigger, moving at a rate of about 1 inch per second. Work in a crosshatch pattern to ensure even coverage and be sure to push the extractor head into any seat stitching to pick up any hidden dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_f1d67a-44 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_f1d67a-44\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-05-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-3831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-05-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-05-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-05-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-05-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-05-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-05-1-788x591.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-05-1-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_8b7708-7a .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_8b7708-7a\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-04-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-3833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-04-1.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-04-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-04-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-04-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-04-1-788x1050.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.prepmycar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/How-to-wash-a-black-car-04-1-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few passes spraying water, repeat the passes without adding more water to dry out the seats as much as possible.
