Default Stained seats..

hey guys whats up, i have stained fabric seats on my Z. my wife went with her niece and the little girl had one of those starbucks coffees in the glass bottle and she left it on her seat. lo and behold, she didnt close it tightly and literally the entire bottle slowly dripped onto the seats overnight. its only visible from certain angles and doesnt have a smell unless up close. also, where the stain is visible, that fabric is hard, almost like cardboard. what can i do to clean this? have it shampooed or will one of those scrubbers from autozone work? thanks guys

depends what product from autozone you are looking at and what method you will use..

what I usually do is spot treat the area and let it sit for about 15min, scrub, spray some water and APC solution (you can just use water) and use a wet/dry vac. to lift all the excess liquid. You can try wiping the excess water but might have to spray and wipe several times since you wont get that 'lift' action.

good luck!

b. Vacuum with wet vac.
