You do not need to use a car interior cleaning service to clean the upholstery mattress but can do this easily by yourself. To clean the car seat cushion, vacuum the seat mattress, spray a thin layer of the cleaning solution onto the surface of the mattress and scrub the stain with a brush, then wipe off the water and soap bubbles with a towel.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Remove stains

1. 

   Vacuum the car seat mattress. Before cleaning the upholstery upholstery, you need to remove all dirt, dirt, and debris. Vacuum the mattress thoroughly, paying attention to the seams on the mattress. Use your finger to draw out the seams and insert the nozzle into the seam to absorb any dirt.

2. 

   
   
   Spray a thin layer of the cleaning solution onto the mattress. You should use a product specifically designed for fabrics, instead of all-purpose cleaning solutions. Gently spray a layer of solution over the area you want to clean. You can spray 4 or 5 puffs on the mattress.
   • Remember not to spray too much and make the mattress soaking wet. This can lead to mold and bad smells developing underneath the fabric.

3. 

   
   
   Use a furniture brush to scrub your mattress. Treat the area that you just sprayed on the cleaning solution before you spray it on another area. Scrub each area one after another immediately after spraying. Use a soft or medium firm interior brush to scrub your mattress.
   • Do not use the stiff carpet brush to scrub the upholstery. Hard brushes can disturb the fabrics in the upholstery.

4. 

   
   
   Wipe off dirty soap bubbles with a microfiber cloth. The scrubbing action will help the dirt rise to the surface of the mattress. When the soap bubbles begin to mix with the dirt, use a microfiber towel to wipe off the dirty foam. Be sure to do this before the solution dries, as the dirt will then settle back into the mattress.

5. 

   Repeat the above procedure until the stain is gone. You can repeat the process of spraying, scrubbing, and wiping until the mattress is gone. Remember that it is crucial to spray thin layers of solution without soaking the fabric. You may need to spray 3 to 6 coats of this solution to remove the stain.

6. 

   Vacuum again after the above step is complete. After cleaning the stain, vacuum again. This step helps dry wet spots and the entire surface of the fabric. You need to let the seat mattress dry completely before using the car. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Use alternative materials for fabric cleaning solution

1. 

   Try laundry soap. If you want to try using materials that you have at home before buying fabric cleaning solutions, you can try laundry soap. Mix laundry soap with hot water, then pour it into a spray bottle to spray or use a sponge to soak the soapy water on the sofa.
   • To rinse the soapy water, use a microfiber towel dipped in cold water, wring out the water and rub on the mattress to wipe away dirt and soap.

2. 

   Use vinegar. Distilled white vinegar can be used as a cleaning solution. Make a mixture of one cup (150 ml) of vinegar, a few drops of dish soap, and 4 liters of hot water. Dab this mixture on your seat mattress and scrub it with a brush.
   • Rinse off the solution with clean water. Use a microfiber towel to remove dirt.

3. 

   Make baking soda mixture. Baking soda can be used as a cleaning agent and to remove unpleasant odors from upholstered seats. Mix ¼ cup (60 ml) baking soda with 1 cup (250 ml) warm water. Spread a thin layer of the mixture onto the mattress. Use a toothbrush to scrub the stain.
   • This method can handle stains that are difficult to remove. Let the mixture soak for about 30 minutes on the stubborn stain deep in the fabric. After half an hour, you can use a rag to blot the stain.

4. 

   Use carbonated soda water. Carbonated soda water can also be used to remove stains from fabric upholstery. Spray a thin layer of soda water on the stain and use a brush to scrub the stain. Repeat if necessary, remembering to wipe when dirt appears on the surface of the mattress.
   • Carbonated soda water is very effective at removing vomit stains.

Method 3 of 3: Maintenance of car seat mattresses

1. 

   Vacuum the car regularly. The car seat mattress will be kept clean if it is vacuumed regularly. Dust and dirt will not become trapped in the mattress if vacuumed immediately. You should vacuum your car once a week or every 2 weeks, depending on how dirty your car is.

2. 

   Quickly clean stains and spilled beverages. Another way to avoid stains on the upholstered upholstery is to clean it right after the incident. You should also promptly dispose of impurities such as dirt, blood or grease.
   • Immediately after spills, blot them with a towel or rag.
   • If the mattress has things like mud, food or cosmetics, treat it with a fabric cleaning solution as soon as you get home.

3. 

   Set the rules on the car. If you are worried that the upholstered seats in your car are dirty, you should set the rules of the car. For example, you may not allow people to eat in the car and drink only covered beverages.
   • If someone is wearing muddy shoes, ask them to take off their shoes and put them in the trunk or plastic bag.
