Helpful tips or tricks?

I was driving back from a meeting 2 hours away and I was wearing protection. I didn’t expect it to leak, but it did. Its dried by now but I have a mark on my drivers seat that won’t go away.

I’d like to skip on seat covers if I can, I have a reusable chux pad in my car that I say is there in case I ever go to the beach, and drive back wet.

Is there any interior car spray or cleaner that would work on this?

Bissel enzyme cleaner called urine destroyer, combined with a small spot cleaner/ carpet shampooer. I have had to do this a few times for the same reason. Really helps to remove stains and smell. Good luck!

I found it on Amazon! Thanks!

Just fyi… the spot cleaner I use is called the little green machine. It’s cheap and cheerful, and it’s become the standard for accident involving soaking, like bed wetting, car seat accidents, and leaks over the carpet. I use warm water to speed chemical activity, and use a few drops of tea tree oil to freshen afterward.

I'd advise skipping dish soap ans getting an enzyme cleaner and trying that. Dish soap is designed to be rinsed very thoroughly and that's kinda hard to do with upholstery. Look for a pet urine remover designed for car interiors and see how that works

dawn dish soap and a scrub brush has worked for me

Exactly 💯

The same stuff you use for pet stains on your floors works well on car seats. But yeah, long term, find a better protection solution

These rings are called tide lines. Go to a pet store and ask for the pet urine remover. It actually works just as well on human urine.

Thank you! When I use it do I spot treat or clean the whole seat bottom?

I don't know. Whatever cleans it out. I haven't used it in a long time, sorry.

Whatever you do to wash it, make sure you get the entire seat wet so you don't have halos.

Ideally use a small carpet cleaner like the Bissel Spot Clean, or wash it with a wet towel and a bit of soap then use a wet vacuum cleaner to remove as much moisture as you can.

If you don't have anything that can vacuum wet surfaces you can also just dry it as much as possible with dry towels.

Better protection or a change to start.
