How to clean car seats
How to clean car seats:
Before cleaning your car seat, make sure the area is free of any fluids or debris. Remove any stickers or labels that may be on the seat.
If the car seat is fabric-covered, remove the fabric cover and wash it in warm water with a mild soap. If the car seat is covered in a vinyl or leather cover, scrub it clean with a stiff brush before laundering. Soap and water won’t work well on these materials.
If the car seat is foam-covered, gently scrape off any dried foam with a fingernail or knife before laundering. Be careful not to cut yourself!
Tips for drying car seats
There are a few tips to follow when trying to dry car seats:
– Preheat the seats before drying them. This will help to soften the fabric and make it easier to move around.
– Remove any excess water with a towel or cloth.
– Hang the seat from a sturdy beam or hook using straps if possible. This will help redistribute the weight and keep the seat from moving around too much.
– Place newspaper on top of the seat, then cover with a light blanket or fleece blanket. Leave in a warm place for several hours or overnight.
– If this doesn’t work, try using an air conditioner on low setting or placing the seat in direct sunlight for short period of time.
