Upholstery Cleaner recomendation
 
What are you all using to clean your upholstery? Any that work well? Any to stay away from?

Thanks

For our car, we have sprayed the upholstery with Scotch Guard, and use 10:1 diluted Simple Green for touch-up cleaning.

For major interior cleaning we use the upholstery cleaning wand on our carpet steam vacuum.

I basically use Simoniz upholstery cleaner and does not affect any ScotchGuard treatments you may have applied. For the tougher soilings (gum, chocolate, ink, ect) I use "PowerOut" from Turtle Wax and since it comes with an integrated brush it does a pretty job of cleaning things up even after they harden/dry a little.

Gary, if you have not sprayed your interior with Scotch Guard, you should do it when possible. I'm glad I did mine as I spilled a cup of black coffee on my ivore seat. No stain, boy was I sweating! H

Scotch Guard
 
The very first thing that I did when I bought the HCHII was to give the upholstery a good soaking with Scotch Guard. I buy it by the gallon at a Janitorial Supply house. 1 gallon makes 5 usable gallons which I use on the carpet in the house, etc.
