    If it was just water they dropped, it wouldn't leave a stain, it'd just dry in, there must be more than water. If they are badly soiled the best option is to get them wet vacc'd (covers the seats in a shampoo and sucks it back off alongside the dirt) Nothing else will give the best of results. Assuming you don't have your own, if you bring it to a valeting place, I'm sure they'd just do the seats for you.

    Have you any pictures?
    Sometimes water can dry with a tide line, and its the outline of where the water was that looks like a stain, even though its not a bad stain as such, and could be an easy fix.

    My front seat has that tide line after using water to wipe a food stain. Would be interested in options to undo that and hesitant to go at it as don't want to make it worse.

    A very light APC mix or better yet a low foaming upholstery cleaner and do the area again...its best to do a whole section. ..the seat base for example to it gets wet and drys evenly.

    Spray on, light agitation with a nail brush and soak as much up as possible with a microfibre cloth. Should dry out very quick in this weather but if you get around to it on a bad day...grab a few dehumidifier bags that you can pick up in the likes of Home Store & More for a few quid to speed up the drying time.

    Need some advice re urine accident in car. Have tried bread soda, vinegar, car shampoo,hot water and soap but the urine has gone to the sponge underneath the car seat. Is my best bet to get a valet done or will it be expensive to get the piece of fabric and sponge replaced? Would appreciate any advice anyone can give me! Thanks!
