| 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 |

| Re: Cleaning seats with Shout You can rent steam cleaners from most supermarkets now for 2 days for £40. Could do the house carpets to. LOL

| Re: Cleaning seats with Shout 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. //cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vax-V-020-Carpet-Upholstery-Washer-Shampooer-99-N-R_W0QQitemZ360047452723QQihZ023QQcategoryZ43526QQt cZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 Vax.JPG

| Re: Cleaning seats with Shout 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

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.
