Ok so i went up to the cottage a week ago and before we left we had to take our garbage to the dump site so i put the garbage in my truck and recycling in the back seat. THe garbage didn't leak but the recycling did i guess... I don't know what leaked from the bag but its kinda white so I'm guessing like milk or something. It got in the middle of the back seat and some went onto the actual passenger seat where it has that interlocking coloured fibres. Its harder to get the stain out in the interlocking coloured fibre area. I tried to use water and a rag to scrub out as much of it as I can but there is still a noticeable stain.

My question is, does anybody know what product i can use that will get rid of this stain on my fabric seat forever, not temporarily?

Thanks in advance.

Milk spills are bad news. If it is milk then that's really going to stink in the summer. Depending on how much spilled you may be able to get most or all of it using an odor and stain remover with enzymes.

You'll need something like this.

If the spill is huge then you may need a professional detailer.

A friend of mine spilled half a litre of milk in his car in the summer and decided to get it professionally detailed. The detailer found 2 small dead mice in the car apparently drinking the milk until there was none left. The car stunk like crazy and the detail was super expensive.

.... Thats gross with the whole mice thing lol. I swear its not what you think it is bisson! :chuckle Anyways, I couldn't find the products aris mentioned at CT so i got Simonz Upholstery Cleaner with the cap brush. It worked perfectly!! I guess it wasn't milk, who knows what it was but it came out with not too much effort.

Appreciate the help from you guys.

P.S. i said temporarily because i used a damp rag, I guess all it did was darken the stain for awhile cuz the next day after it dried up. the stain was visible again.

Help ! Just spilled 2 tim horton's mango/peach smoothies on my front passenger seat, after the initial shock i tried to take as much of the half frozen puddle of smoothie from my front seat using my hands as a scoop, i ran back to grab lots of napkins and started rubbing it on the sit which resulted in lots of white residue on the seat, when came home I vaccumed the sit and sprayed some upholstery cleaner foam, scrubbed and vaccumed again. But there is still seem to be a stain on the side of the seat ( the part that is raised to support ur bum)
is there anything else i can do ? should i turn my heated seat on to let it dry faster?

Let the seat dry... With heat it shouldn't take long... After it drys check to see if their still a stain... If so then scrub it again with a all purpose cleaner

my dad's old camry used to have a mouse nest(?) in the air filter for the engine.

How did 2 mice end up in the car is my question.

take the fabric off the foam and power wash it.

Take it out of the car, hence the fabric off the foam. Clean the fabric.

Edit: Dam Ami too fast

my dads owned a cleaning business for over 20 years and does all the warranty work for the brick, lazy boy... all those big companies. what you need is an extractor. you can rub and push but that isnt going to do anything but drive the stain further, and adding products that are going to sit in it won't help. get the spot wet, treat it with some form of soap (even a small amount of tide will work seeing as you probably wont have access to much) and then have an extractor rinse/suck everything out. I'm pretty sure you can rent them from home depot, and while youre at it you might as well treat your whole interior.
