    I bought a giant fruit tart from Porto's for my wife's birthday and the sugar grease seeped into my fabric. Doh! Now the inside of my car looks crappy.



    I've tried those chlorox wipes and nothing else. Is there anything else I can try?

    How much would replacing the fabric cost? Hopefully I don't have to replace the seat.

    they make upholstery cleaner, which is worth a try. if no luck, maybe some nice seat covers?

    Thanks for all the replies! I tried Dorunron's suggestion of getting Tuff Stuff from Amazon. It is an add-on item so I had to buy other items with my shopping cart. It worked its magic and removed my stain.

    I also bought a brush:


    I did 2 applications over a weekend. Here are the results:

    If you want to clean some stain naturally you can use baking soda or vinegar. They work for almost every stain.It's cheap and efficient solution...
