Bad drink stain on back seats

Mister Jingles

Anybody have a clue how to get rid of a big lucozade (original) stain out of cloth ? Or even any products to look out for when im in Halfords tomorrow ?

Never thought a drink could cause so much of a stain on dark gray seats but it has. The seat still looks just as wet as the moment the drink was spilled but its now dried in and it looks poxy

Flash APC and some elbow grease?

Haha, I wish but i feel that mightn't do the job still.

You would be suprised what it will do.

Dilute it with 4 parts water and one part flash and put it in an old spray bottle.

Get the area plenty wet and scrub with a firm brush. Try that before spending money on overpriced foamy carpet cleaners.

I'll have a look for some tomorrow when I'm out or hopefully there's some in the house already.

Thanks

Proud to say that I wasn't the culprit in this :P

Where abouts did you get that spray ?

Most supermarkets sell it, I got it in Tescos. Cheaper variant of the Vanish Oxy action brand.

Sometimes it's not a car cleaning product you need for the job

This is your opportunity to get a rug doctor.
Get one and do the whole car, and the house while you're at it.
Rent from B&Q.

This! +1.
Spraying some cleaner on it and dabbing it with a cloth will be about as useful as trying to clean the car by performing pagan rituals under a full moon.
Complete waste of time, you'll only compound the stain and rub it deeper into the fabric.
I have one of these for doing the cars and the carpets in the house and it's one of the best things I have ever bought:

Atlantic Dawn

Try Autoglym Interior Shampoo, very good for making seats look like new with minimum effort.
