Stubborn Stains on Car Seats? The Car Wash Trick to Remove Them

—

### The Car Wash Trick – Step by Step:

1. **Pre-treat the stain:** Before heading to the car wash, lightly spray the stained area with your homemade cleaning solution. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes to loosen dirt and grime.

2. **Gently scrub the area:** Using a soft-bristle brush or microfiber cloth, gently work the cleaner into the fabric in a circular motion. Don’t over-saturate the seat—just enough to loosen the stain.

3. **Use the vacuum’s suction power:** Once at the car wash, use the **high-powered vacuum** to extract the moisture and grime from the fabric. Move slowly and methodically over the damp area to suck out as much liquid (and stain residue) as possible.

4. **Repeat if needed:** For tougher stains, you may need to repeat the process once more.

5. **Blot and dry:** After vacuuming, use your dry towels to blot any remaining moisture. Leave windows cracked open or park in the sun for quicker drying.

### Why It Works:

Most at-home vacuums don’t have the power to fully lift dirt from the deep fibers of your car seats. The industrial-strength vacuums at car washes, however, can pull moisture and particles up and out—leaving your seats cleaner, fresher, and stain-free.

### Bonus Tip:
Add a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or lemon) to your cleaning mix for a fresh scent that lingers long after the stain is gone.
