Fabric cleaning

What have you guys used to help clean spots on the seat fabric? I know I could do seat covers but I don't want to spend the money on that right now. There are a few other things I'd like to do first.

Spills from the kids have been quickly cleaned up with just a damp cloth and some elbow grease.....but I just noticed some greasy finger prints from a recent trip to McD's

Seat covers will have to be a priority, I think, in order to keep this truck as clean as possible. It's gotta last me many many years to come.

Thanks!

I hear ya!!!!! Mine is a mess of spots and stains and 90% are from the kids! I don't know any good tricks, so I am just going to spend the $100 - $150 on a good detail as soon as I get a chance to have it done professionaly. I just wish that my 06 had the "yes essentials " fabric that they offer in the newer ones!

That is what I have and I do like the material. Most stuff will come out without too much trouble, but the greasy fingers is still there. I have also noticed that rain will leave some "dirty spots" from time to time.

I think I'm going to have to suck it up and get some covers I'm not so much worried about the front as I am with the back. My kids are hating me right now because I am WAY **** (no jokes, please ) about keeping this truck clean. It's got to last for a LONG time. No feet up above the mats AT ANY TIME!...and clean your crap out when you exit the vehicle. Not really that tough, eh? 11 year olds have VERY short memories.

Forgot to mention I have a 4 year old, too.

That is where the finger prints came from.

But dude, you are screwed!!
