    Polyglaze upholstery cleaner in a spray can seems to work well.

    I'd recommend Armor All Upolstry Cleaner, it seems to get out most stains and keep the cloth looking good. I'd stay away from Kitten, I found it to not do much at all.

    buy a decent wet vac, go to godfreys and get 1ltr carpet cleaner, get a bucket with warm water, remove your seats, tip bucket of warm carpet cleaning water onto your floor, scrub with a brush, wet vac it up, then fill up a spray bottle and soak the seats, scrub and wet vac up, if its really bad use degreaser and a gerni then wet vac it up.... hey its what the detailers do, im an automotive engineer and do it with al my cars but then again my personal wet vac is a 1k pullman three motor 80l thing

    rug doctor is ok but doesnt suck hard enough, auto glym is crap, besides in the pics it looks wet, the way detailers hide faults is buy spraying carpet cleaner and misting the entire seat, wet blends in the blemish then boom there it is when its dry

    I've used this on both the seats and the carpet and it worked well, but always spot test to avoid discolouration.

    Spray it on the desired upholstery allow the foam to sink in, then wipe away with a cloth. Old towels work pretty well.

    Amway upholstery cleaner (spray can type) is really efficient and I've used it heaps when detailing some pretty grubby cars from ppl with small kids, ice cream, food stains etc. come away really easy
