DIY Car Upholstery Cleaners

It can be easy to keep the outside of your car clean. The smooth metals can be simple to clean with just some hot water, soap and a good scrubbing. However, the inside of the car can be difficult, with the different fabrics and such. Especially cloth fabric which kids can easily do a number on quickly, and the longer the stain sits depending on what it, it can be much harder to get out. Plus it can make your vehicle smell over time. Keep in mind it requires care when cleaning upholstery.
