I had a thought last night. The seat covers in my IROC have no rips or tears, but could use a good cleaning. So I was thinking, could I take them off, bring them to a dry cleaners and have them cleaned.

Opinions on this idea?

BTW by seat covers I mean the actual fabric from the factory, not some cheapo Wal-Mart covers.

 

Honestly, I don't see why not.

However, you could get them steam cleaned for probabally cheaper and less hassle.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Did you try it? Did it work?

 

It's really a big job to remove the seat covers and reinstall them. Steam cleaning might be the way to go.

 

I am always cleaning my Cloth seats along with the carpet in my house. So I went out & got a Carpet shapooer for the house When My seats need to be clean I rip them out & bring them in the house. Do a nice clean job on them then put them back in.

 

If you're going to do all that work to take them off and take them to a dry cleaner's to have them cleaned, I have to ask WHY?!! I had a very bad stain on a couch cushion that wouldn't come out with a carpet cleaner or any upholstery cleaner I tried, so I took it off and threw it in with a load of laundry. That stain has been banished and the cushion looks like new. Laundry in your own machine (if you have one) is a lot cheaper than dry cleaning and the material still gets clean. I just am not sure what it does to the flame retardency though... (sigh)
