Water broke in car. Washing Car seats? Help! - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisSedan · 04-08-2009, 02:57 PM

The car seat is very simple enough to remove. Just 4 basic bolts. You can rent a shampoo carpet cleaner from lot of places now like safeway i think only like 15 bucks or some small amount for the day. Shampoo the entire thing.. YOu can also use it to shampoo around the carpet area of the seat since now it is out. The carpet machine has a suction portion where it sucks out all the water after its done shampooing. Then set the seat out int he sun to dry all day. Once you are done with that purchase febreeze antimicrobial for fabrics. And spray down the entire car seat till it is slightly damp. once it drys all smells will be gone and should look as good as new again. Hope this helps.

If that seems like too much work for you, there are many places that shampoo and detail your interior for you. But they charge about 100 dollars.

Yellopages.com type in auto shampoo or detail something of that manner and enter in your zip code it will find locations closest to you.
