Try dish washing soap and water (its mild), w/ toothbrush works best. Then cleanse w/ damp rag. Try not to over dampen. Goodluck!

the 1st time I saw the commercial with the soccer mom spot botting her stairs, I was like "must have for my car"

it works like a charm.

I vote for resolve as well since it cleaned my headliner with no damage. Leaves a nice scent there.

I haven't used it on my seats yet but just make sure you follow the directions and don't over use it since it'll stay damp for a while

yep...it shoots the stuff from a little hand held thing and then you click it to suck it all up. just put whatever kind of cleaner inside and you're cherry. It also heats up the stuff.
