    I follow the recommendations of either
    303’s Cleaners and Protectants; or, those
    of 3M’s venerable “Scotchgard" products.

    Re: Help! Cleaning Fabric Seats

    Just cleaned a car with light gray interior, most of the seats had a lot of stains, not soda. Water, some other drinks and who knows what else. I used P&S's Trio (Enzyme, Carpet Bomber, Peroxide) with the light duty drill brush and it did a really good job. Rsurfers hot water extractor would be better. But, you obviously don't have one or you wouldn't be here asking for a solution. If you went the P&S route I honestly don't know if you'd need all 3., but I got the set for like $20 shipped on sale. And if you don't have a drill for the brush, doing it by hand would work, just take a lot more effort.

    APC, brush, and a towel to mop up

    The P&S TRIO is FANTASTIC! I am a firm believer in using the full system on heavy soiling & stains

    I recently used it on a soda stain in the carpet and it all came up no problem.

    Also, it worked magnificently on upholstery as well removing smoke odors.
