Car seat tea stain - from a year ago

[elrasho]

I spilt tea on my car seat and never did anything about it. My car is going back soon and I need to get rid of this stain, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Jonnycoupe]

Have you tried wiping it with a cloth?

If that fails a match should do the trick, either to ignite the car or stained the rest of the seats.

 

[MrRockliffe]

If it's fabric, could you steam clean it?

 

[elrasho]

Yes its fabric; I don't have a steam cleaner

Pay for an interior valet?

 

[Begbie]

Brush and soap. Or some sort of cloth spray.

Or pay someone else to do it.

Any upholstery cleaner will work, most all purpose cleaners will too.

Did you put milk or water in the mug first?

 

[HamZilla]

The best thing for it now is to cover it with a digestive or a hobnob if you've got a fancy model.

Rent a carpet washer for a day and buy a bottle of regular carpet shampoo. That will get rid of it.

Yes. I've used to remove stains that are much older than one year... Stain is a stain, once its dried it doesn't get any drier

Op just call any local mobile valeter. I had my car interior steam cleaned they done a great job got rid of all the imperfections and it doesn’t cost much.

 

[elrasho]

Tried all sorts it just won't go! Vanish, Dr.Beckmann etc... Am I going to have to get a professional to clean it? I mean it's just tea

 

[Cookeh]

Stiff bristle brush and Halfords Upholstery Cleaner. Will cost you £4 for both.

Autoglym Interior Shampoo is great at getting rid of stuff like that.

Autoglym Interior Shampoo is great at getting rid of stuff like that.

Indeed, I find it very good at stains and refreshing an interior generally.

Got a picture of the stain?

Also, what are you using to scrub it?

if you're failing to get the stain out, then how about some lateral thinking, stain all the seats to make them all look the same?
