Clean the seat foam

Postby RobvdVeer » Fri May 02, 2014 7:00 pm

Lads, i've started the recovering of my seat step #1: getting the old leather off, done.

What's the best / easiest way to thoroughly clean the foam?

I'd spray it with some softening detergent for clothes, sponge it in and out by massaging it.
after I'd suck it out with an industrial vacuum.

That should kill any smell.
