What kind of material is it? Presoak the are with folex and then agitate with an upholstry brush. Then hit it with your hot water carpet cleaner.

Folex can be picked up at Lowes, Home Depot, or even your local hardware store.

Here's a tip for the future...

How to write a good title for your thread (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/introduce-yourself/20306-how-write-good-title-your-post.html)

When you start a thread you'll need to write a Title for it, this is what everyone is going to see and hopefully >>click<< on in order to read your message. The title will be the words that show up on the Autogeek discussion forum homepage under "Recent Threads".


If you really want to get help on a question then one of the most important things you can do is write a GREAT Title. Take a few extra minutes to choose words that will tell the reader what your thread is about.


Here's an example of a GREAT title,

Need help removing water spots out of my car's paint by hand?

This will get you the best quality replies because it tells our forum members exactly what the topic is about and then our members with expertise on this topic will >>click<< on the link and do their best to answer your questions.

The above title says,

What the problem is
What you're working on
How you're going to apply products



Here's an example of a bad title,

Help!


Is kind of vague, actually it's really vague and it's competing against great titles, so it's not going to help you get the help you're hoping for and need.

Time is always precious, even on a discussion forum, we have a lot of talented and smart people on this forum but the last thing you want to do is make them guess what your topic is about. The last thing you want is for them to skip over your thread as you'll never get the benefit of their experience and wisdom.
We love it when people trust Autogeek for help, but help us to help you by writing a title for your thread that will tell us what it is you're working on, what the problem is and any other little details that will get you the right people with the right information replying to your questions.

Check Home Depot or Lowes. Home Depot has it for 15.99 for 128oz.

i used the folex, it took out a couple of the marker stains i had, but i will know when it dries if it took out the other stains, i dont know what they are but they are like butt sweat or something lol, thanks again
and sorry for the crappy title, was in a bind and my great title went out the window

Folex is a great cleaner and I recommend this as well.

This looks like a Ford interior. I did a Ford Escape last year that looked identical to this.

What might be happening here is the contaminate has migrated deeper in the foam and must be dissolved then extracted. Many of the seat fabrics of today seem perforated and from a users prospective great but there's a dark side to this design as well.

While a hot water extractor would work best, try working in the Folex with hot water then using a shop vac, vacuum as much of the soiled solution from it then repeat. The idea is to remove as much of the contamination from deep within the foam so repeating the task 3 or 4 times might help a lot.

Suction here in the key to success. :props:

Be careful of pressure/duration while scrubbing.
The dye bond breaks down more readily on these perforated seats IME.
EDIT: as alluded to by BobbyG.
