Car upholstery comes in all shapes and sizes. It is like a wardrobe for your car. Let's take a look at the different types:

Type of upholstery	Cleaning method	Points of attention
Fabric upholstery	Steam cleaning, shampoo	Dries slowly but thoroughly
Leather upholstery	Special leather cleaner, conditioner	Careful with water, protects and nourishes
Alcantara/suede	Mild soap, microfiber cloth	Delicate like a baby, treat it with a gentle hand
Vinyl	All-purpose cleaner, microfiber cloth	Tough, but watch out for scratches

Every upholstery requires a unique approach. It's like cooking - you wouldn't use the same pan for a steak and an omelette, would you?

Removing stains from car upholstery

Stains are like uninvited guests at a party – no one wants them, but they show up anyway. Here are some tips:

• Coffee stains? Don't panic! Blot with cold water and mild soap. Warm water sets the stain, so keep it cool.
• Grease stains are snipers. Do you use baking soda as your secret weapon. Sprinkle it on, let it soak in and vacuum it up.
• Ink is stubborn. Try it carefully with isopropyl alcohol or hairspray. It's like trying to decipher a secret code - it takes patience.
• Chewing gum? Freeze it with ice cubes in a plastic bag. It becomes brittle and comes off easily.

Remember: Always test on an inconspicuous area first. It’s like trying on new clothes – you want to make sure it fits before you buy it.

Professional car upholstery cleaning vs. doing it yourself

Of course, you can do it yourself, but there are good reasons to leave it to professionals:

Why professional?

• We have the right tools. It's like going to the dentist instead of fiddling with a mirror yourself.
• We save you time. Use those hours to enjoy your clean car!
• We clean thoroughly and disinfect. Double win!
• Our results last longer. It's like a good haircut - it lasts longer.

Disadvantages of doing it yourself:

• You risk damaging your upholstery. It's like cutting it yourself - one wrong move and oops!
• The cleaning is less effective. Could you clean your own teeth as well as a dentist?
• It takes a lot of time. Time that you could also spend on more enjoyable things.

One of our customers, Lisa, put it this way: “I thought I would save money by doing it myself. In the end, it took me a weekend and the results were disappointing. Never again!”

2. What type of upholstery do you have? Leather requires a different approach than fabric.
3. How dirty is the upholstery? A few stains or a complete makeover?
4. Would you like extras, such as odor treatment or leather repair?
