Whether you work a labor-intensive job or just have a bunch of rowdy, nature-loving kids, your car’s interior will eventually get covered in spots and dots. A bit of forceful scrubbing can remove the lion’s share of these unsightly spots, but there always seems to be at least one that clings firmly to your seats and upholstery. It might not bother you as much if it’s a spot that usually has someone sitting on it, but if it’s constantly staring you in the face, it needs to go.
Much like how you would clean a carpet stain in your home, the solution for stubborn car spots is a spot cleaner. These tools use a combination of powerful sprays and suction to attack densely packed spots with cleaning solutions, then immediately capture the loosened contaminants before they have a chance to resettle. Not only are these great for general deep cleaning, but they’re a lifesaver in the event of a dreaded pet travel accident. Spot cleaners typically cost around $100 to purchase, but if there’s a hardware store near you like Home Depot, you can rent one for around $20.
