Fortunately, it’s not as hard as you might think. We break down the basics below so you can keep the seats in your vehicle looking like new as you drive around Caledon.

It’s important to vacuum first, as you don’t want to further stain, scuff, or scratch up the seat with debris while rubbing or brushing the cleaner into it. Wipe up spills as soon as they happen to prevent stains.
