Mix the warm water, the few squirts of dish detergent and the ¼ cup of vinegar in a spray bottle. Shake the mixture well and leave for five minutes to set.

And now we’re ready to start cleaning the car upholstery:

* Use a toothbrush to gently apply the baking soda and water solution to any stains that you might have on the upholstery and leave the solution for 30 minutes to penetrate the stains (This is by the way a great cleaning procedure for stubborn stains including ketchup and coffee stains among others).

* After the half hour, use a clean dry towel to blot the stains with the baking soda and water. Be careful to absorb as much liquid as possible before commencing the next step in the car upholstery cleaning process.

* Use the detergent, water and vinegar mixture to spray the upholstery starting with the front seats and working your way to the back.

* After spraying the seats, use a stiff-bristled brush to gently work in the solution.

* Leave the mixture to sit for 15 minutes on the seats, and then use dry towels to absorb excess moisture.

* The last step is to air out the car to get rid of any smells. You may want to leave all the car doors and windows open for the rest of the day or until all the cleaning smell is gone.
