Fabric seats first: vacuum like you mean it, then mist a proper upholstery cleaner, agitate with a soft brush, and blot—don’t soak unless you fancy a swampy smell.
For stains, dab a 1:10 mix of pH-neutral cleaner and warm water, then rinse with a barely damp microfibre and leave doors open to dry.
Leather? Use a pH-balanced leather cleaner, wipe gently, and finish with a conditioner so it ages like a fine Akubra, not a cricket ball.
Avoid bleach, steam overkill, and pressure washers unless chaos is the goal.
Test products on a hidden patch first, and your nose will thank you when the cabin doesn’t smell like wet dog.
