I'm sure there's a way you could take the cloth cover of the seat off, I'm just not sure how to do it. If you can get that off, then spray the whole thing with Simple Green and wash it in the washing machine. That's what my mom uses to get nasty stains out of all of my clothes and it works really well, doesn't fade or anything.

Good luck!

Or you can dip a tooth brush in pine sol and rub the spot out that way, I've heard that works too.

Try the Blue Magic first. Walmart carries it , so do most Auto stores. I've used it on grease , blood, dirt and orange soda on a lt. beige carpet. All with good results.

yeah im going to take the seat out on wed. just so busy with work, and 4th of july stuff. one good thing is that since the seat is black, it hides the color of the stain rather well.

I know it's a litlle late now but a piece of scrap cardboard or plastic is your friend. Also, why on the seat and not in the rear hatch area???

^ Because he has a system. lol. Try using "Tuff Stuff" first , I had some stains on the seats and removed it using "Tuff Stuff" with a microfiber towel. Its like $3 for a spray can (yellow can) at walmart. If that doesnt work. If you have a steam cleaner it should be able to extract the stains out. Theres really no need to remove the cover/seats.
