I have used a shop vac to clean old JY seats before.
Put a spray bottle of cleaning solution together. Something with a disinfectant in it but a very mild solution.
Spray, scrub, shop-vac, then put them somewhere where they will dry COMPLETELY (I've put them back in the car before, with a hair dryer on the "kill" setting, overnight, with the windows cracked and dryer safely suspended somewhere. You will know it's dry when there's no more condensation on the windows).

When dry, gather your favorite sent of Carpet Fresh. Apply liberally, set overnight, vac in the AM.

Rear lower seat frame is moulded into the foam. No tub action for this part The frame is rusty enough as it is.

Looks like I'll get to test out these other methods.

When it comes to car parts in the houes, that girl that sits at the other end of the couch said look at the finger.
The finger said no.

She had to take my daughter to her singing lessons, i was almost done with the washing by the time they got back!

She didn't complain, just gave me that stink face look.

I get the idea to basically replace all of the old stagnate air with new fresh air and disinfectants like lysol.

i'm thinking of cleaning them though.

I don't know why i forget about google at times, but here's a suggestion they have for cleaning the cushions.

Put the cushion in the tub, fill with enough warm/coolish water to submerge the cushion. Some laundry detergent. Take off my shoes and socks and pretend i'm squashing grapes for wine. Drain, fresh water, repeat until clean. Rinse the same way with just water till the soap is gone. Drain the tub, squish the water out and hang up for several days to dry.

Interesting idea to see if it's dry, weigh the cushion before i get it wet. That's the target weight to determine the cushions have actually dried.

What do y'all think of that one? I believe i'll give it a go on one of the cushions as a test today unless someone has done this to bad effect.

I want a pic of you and Mike squishing those cushions while drinking.

After doing that, what are you going to do when your wife decides to put you in the back of a pickup truck and drive through the car wash?
