Dirty Recaros

[ep-unit]

What would you recommend to clean my recaros? I don't wanna ruin the fabric, any help please.........thanks

I had a pair of red recaros in my GSR....MY one pitbull had a operation on her leg that required stitches. I picked her up from the vet and drove her home. I came out 3 hours later ready to drive my wife to work....when she noticed that there was blood all over my seat.
I took it to a car detailer and the guy charged me $60 bucks to clean the seat. It came out better then brand new. You might want to try this option.

well i was kinda looking at maybe buying a cleaner or something and if nothing will clean it i'll maybe go to a detailer

Alot of people swear by Woolite to clean Recaros. Never used it personally though.

ive used armor all fabric wipes on my recaros but it dont seem to clean very well. i would assume that auto zone would have a suede cleaner or check out a fabric store they might have a suede safe cleaner

simple green crystal and then rent the rug doctor from lowes.. worked on my friends dc2 black recaros.. also works on stock ep3 seats.. did this twice.

[sidriverep3]

but is that safe for red recaros? does anyone else have any experience with simple green on seats?

I also use woolite and even saw a thread on the old ephatch about using woolite. Just make sure you use like 1 part woolite to 10 parts water otherwise it will make too much soapy and be hard to get out. Rub it in real well and dry with a towel.

Or rent a steam cleaner.

I ended up doing another scrub on the bolster as they were still a little dirty but they're minty clean now. Once they're clean make sure you vacume them as often as possible, keeps them fresh.
