Cleaning car seats.
Discussion
The other night, I had a few friends in my car who had had a bit to drink before I'd picked them up, and they'd bought a crate out with them. But one of them always manages to spill any drink everytime he gets in my car. so anyway, two of them were just as clusmy as hell. My front passanger seat now stinks of a cocktail of Mcdonalds Tea, Fosters and Malibu. So the smell when i get in is not that plesent. Also I think I have fosters on the back seats as well. I also found a half empty can on its side on the parcel shelf!
So anybody got any advice what I can do to clean this up and get rid of some if not all of the smell.

If they are cloth seats, your best bet is to use one of those wet & dry vacuum/shampoo machines.
Homebase rent out a version called The Rugdoctor.
Hopefully, there wasn't a large volume spilled and it hasn't soaked through too much.
If it's leather, then warm damp towels followed by an application of leather protectant.
P.S. Try to find some mates who aren't complete t
ts and avoid this in the future.

There cloth seats, and I really dont have the funds to be able to rent out one of those machines if it's only going to be a twenty minuite job or something.Homebase rent out a version called The Rugdoctor.

If you want to thoroughly clean the seats without machines then I would wait until summer,remove the seats from your car,buy some washing powder(normal handwash that you can buy in any supermarket).Put 2 handfulls per bucket of hot water and saturate the seats through,working in with a stiff brush.Rinse the soap powder through with a hosepipe and leave the seats to drip dry in the sun.I've done this many times,even to seats stained with oil and god knows what else and without exception they have come up like new,and smelt of fresh clean clothes once back in the car.

As good an idea as this sounds, i dont think i could put up with the stench untill summer. I'll pop to halfrauds and tesco tommorow and see whats on offer.
