06 cloth seat stains!

I was wondering if any of you guys know a magic trick to get rid of the stains on the horrible cloth seats that come with the 06 trucks. I had a small stain and i got it out but used too much water and now the water stain is twice as big as the original stain and dosent appear to be drying!(over three weeks ago)

any ideas!?

theres been some threads on this in the past, i think its the dust thats in the seats. when it gets wet, its like mud?? well then you have that stain to deal with. you should see me try to get in and out when its raining. its pandamonia. im thinking about some wet oklie seat covers in the near future. my adivce for now is to clean the entire seat. vacuum really good before you start also

These 06 cloth seats are big stain magnets. The only thing I have come up with is to cover up the JUNK with seat covers.

I use Tuff Stuff by Simonize. You can get it at your local parts store. Works pretty good.

I used Resolve, and it got the original stain out, but then applying the water to get the resolve out stained it even bigger!

vacuum the seats, then clean the entire seat.if you have access to a steam cleaner, i would think that would be best

J Double, if you don't mind my asking...would you send me a PM with the price and the place you bought those seat covers? I think that they are pretty sharp! Also, do they have two tone with a darker gray rather than the blue to match my truck, or maybe black? I appreciate it!

I have used this stuff with GREAT success on all my other vehicles.

When I tried to remove a tiny (I mean, smaller than dime sized) spot of chocolate on my passenger sear, it made matters FAR worse.

I have a dark(er) spot about 10" around now. I'm afraid to mess with it anymore, it will probably only get bigger.

I agree with the other posters, seat covers may be the only way to fly. Some of the pictures I have seen on here of the seat covers that come from Costco (can't remember the name) were NICE, real nice!

No to hijack, but anyone with the covers from Costco, are they called "Coverking"?

Also, JDub, what did THOSE cost (ballpark)? They look nice........and expensive!
