Vinyl car seats are a classic piece of car equipment, but they can be tough and rigid. If your seats are starting to feel stiff and uncomfortable, it’s time to soften them up. Here are a few tips for doing just that.
Materials you will need
In order to soften hard or old vinyl car seats, you will need a few supplies. Firstly, you will need some water and a dish soap. Next, mix together one cup of water and one teaspoon of dish soap. Pour this mixture into a large bowl and place the vinyl seats into it. Soak the seats for about 30 minutes, or until they are soft. Finally, rinse the seats off with cool water to complete the process.
Tools you will need
There are a few tools you will need to soften old vinyl car seats. A bucket of warm water, a scrub brush, and some soap are all you will need to get started.
1) Fill a bucket with warm water and add enough soap to cover the bottom of the bucket.
2) Scrub the car seat with the scrub brush until it is clean.
3) Pour the soapy water into the bucket and use it to rinse the car seat.
Procedure
If your old vinyl car seats are uncomfortable, it is time to soften them. This will help make them more comfortable and less likely to cause pain or injury in the long run. There are a few different ways to do this, but the most common is to use a heating pad. You can also place a towel over the seat and heat it up using a stove or an oven. Be sure to be careful not to overheat the seat or it could damage it.
Tips and Tricks
For those of you who have old vinyl car seats that are no longer comfortable, there are a few things you can do to make them more comfortable.
1. Get a new seat. Car seats get better with age, and even second-hand seats will be better than no seat at all.
2. Buy a foam insert. This is a simple fix and costs around $20-$30. It goes in the seat behind you, and makes the seat much softer and more comfortable.
3. Use heat therapy. Heat therapy can be applied directly to your skin or through clothing, and it is said to help relieve pain, inflammation, and tension in the neck, shoulders, back, hips and thighs. Place a heating pad on your lower back for about 15 minutes each day for two weeks (or use an electronic heating pad). If you don’t have access to either of these things, try using a hot water bottle placed on your lower back for 10-15 minutes at a time several times per day.
4. Try exercising regularly. Exercise not only helps with pain relief but also keeps muscles flexible which can help reduce tension throughout the body
