Default Cleaning seats with Shout

Hi

I have read a lot about 'Shout' so decided to try some on the back of a seat, were there were loads of foot marks (previous owners kids I think). It worked really well so I now want to clean all the seats (light part only). I am wondering if I’m being silly trying to do all of it with Shout or if I should go invest the £40/50 a valet would cost me and get a steam cleaner/ VAX?

Cheers
Ed

You can rent steam cleaners from most supermarkets now for 2 days for £40.

Could do the house carpets to. LOL

I bought a graded Vax from these guys for £50 to get the water out of my carpets after fixing the rear door carriers. It did a great job cleaning the seats with the upholstery shampoo. I've still got a slight musty smell so its going for a interior valet with a steam clean and fogging to kill the smell on Friday.

steam cleaner is a waist of time.
you need to draw out the dirt so a wet hoover would be required along with a good fabric cleaner

Got exactly the same one from the same people for £31 delivered.

They are great and the musty smell try using one of the AAA for pets, or tobacco.

Only thing you must do it make sure you extract the water for a bit after you've stopped pumping it in to make sure you dry the stuff as well as you can.
