Cleaning Cloth Interior

I spent some time looking back through old threads about interior cleaning and haven't come across any that addresses cloth seating.


What are the best product(s) to use when cleaning the cloth interior.


My previous mini had leather, but this time around I decided with cloth. With 6 months under my belt with this one, my observation; Cloth stains easily.

I heartily endorse Griot's Interior Cleaner. It works well on my space cloth seats and other interior pieces- and just about any stain on cloth around the house. I now buy it in the gallon size since my wife uses it on shirts and other spots, too.

They're right about the Griot's, good stuff. However you also need a fabric protectant after you clean it with the Griot's. There are a few good protectants out there. I use one on my trucks interior called "Shining Monkey D-Spec Fabric Protector". It works extremely well at keeping spills from staining and it will keep the seats cleaner longer, so you don't have to clean them as often.
