Need help cleaning oil out of a seat

Diesel Dan · 03-05-2008, 03:02 PM

Ya what the title says...It happened yesterday in my brother back seat of his 1500..my brothers friend was sitting in the back seat and he opened it and slipped out of his hand..only on the bottom cushion of the seat..Best way to clean it up to get the oil out?

Im guessing cloth?

Oil is tough, because it's weight naturally forces it down into the fabric, and then spreads out like any other liquid. Honestly, a professional steam/extractor might be the only way.

You can try to blot it, follwed by full strentgh folex, and agitate lightly with a interior brush, and keep bloting but the longer it sits, the more it will penetrate

Get a new seat bottom or live with the oil smell forever. It has already soaked into the foam. Of course this all depends on how long the oil was allowed to soak before some action was taken

Like it happened as we were pulling into the driveway...So the first thing we did was get a washcloth with water while my brother was getting the steam cleaner out...And proceeded to steam clean it....But we both get the feeling that it's still there...Would u be best off just have it detailed? We can get free detailing but we wouldn't be able to make that happen till monday...And sorry, cloth

Blast that cloth with a can of ether, make sure you have plenty or rags to catch what you blow off. You won't get it all but you'll make the detailers job easier.

Try letting a lot of laundry detergent soak in then try pulling it out with the steam vac.

good luck.
