Cup of Tea or a Pint?

I've just finished cleaning the upholstery in our Puck L. We were thinking about getting it professionally cleaned but with further thought and some very helpful info on the internet I decided to give it a go myself. Having removed the upholstery from the van the trick, it seems, is to remove as much dirt and dust by vacuuming and thwacking the seat bottoms and backs with a fly swotter or similar (very enjoyable) before spot cleaning specific marks with a baby wipe. The next step is to gently wipe the upholstery with a microfibre cloth that has been semi wrung-out after soaking in a weak solution of warm water and wool/fabric washing liquid. Its been a warm sunny day so it didn't take long for the seat bottoms and backs to dry out and I'm very pleased with the result - just over 2 hours in total. So, cup of Tea or a Pint? no contest really, a pint and maybe one to follow - they're going to slip down rather well me thinks.

Just a note of caution, before embarking on a full clean test a small area of upholstery with the baby wipes and cleaning solution you intend to use just incase it reacts badly with the fabric or dye.

Well done its very satisfying to finish a job with out the professionals help or price tag I'd have two pints .it always amazes me what you can clean with baby wipes they remove loads of stains ect I always think perhaps I shouldn't be using them on the baby!

Have to say that I just popped a seat cover in to the washing machine at 40C after the grandson had an accident. Came out perfectly clean and no shrinkage. I'll have no hesitation doing the rest of the covers the same way.
