Title: Dirty arm rest
Post by: Little_Dave on February 08, 2013, 12:15:25 am

Just wondering what people recommend using to clean cloth arm rests?

My one is looking a bit grubby and could do with a good clean, would any fabric cleaner do the trick or a specialist car interior one be a better bet?

Thanks
Dave

Some APC products are perfectly good on fabric as long as they are not too strong, or make up a dilution of your own that would work well as they are often good for car mats too :happy2:

but id imagine a drop of interior shampoo in a spray bottle that you make up with water could also do the job.

Autoglym interior shampoo works a treat!

I find just a damp microfibre cloth is good for cleaning the cloth in the car. Comma interior cleaner is good for stubborn stains.
