Remove unwanted stains and odours from your child’s car seat in no time with the help of Vanish.

Sticky dashboards and greasy steering wheels can all be solved with a swift spray and wipe, but upholstery can present its own difficulties. Here, we’ll provide tips on how to use car seat cleaners to keep your child’s car seat clean, fresh and odour-free.

Understanding the importance of a clean car seat

Maintaining clean car seats is not only essential for overall hygiene but also for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of your little one. When it comes to car seat cleaning, using the right products is key. That's why investing in the best car seat cleaner is important—one that not only effectively removes dirt, stains and odours but also provides a hygienic environment for your child.

Choosing the right car seat cleaner

It's important to consider the specific needs of your car seats. For fabric car seats, a car fabric seat cleaner is ideal. These cleaners are specially formulated to remove dirt, stains, and odours from fabric surfaces. They are designed to penetrate deep into the fabric fibres, effectively lifting away dirt and grime.

If you have leather or vinyl upholstery, a car seat upholstery cleaner is the way to go. These cleaners are designed to clean and condition leather or vinyl surfaces, keeping them soft and supple. When choosing a car seat cleaner, it's important to consider factors like safety, effectiveness and ease of use.

For a quick, convenient clean, use the Vanish Carpet Care & Upholstery Vacuum Up Foam. It removes 3x more dirt than vacuuming alone*, cleaning deep into the fibres to leave them soft and fresh-smelling.

*versus vacuuming alone when used on 100% polyamide carpets or 10% wool and 10% polyamide carpets and in accordance with usage instructions.

How to clean a child or baby’s car seat

Cleaning a baby’s car seat can involve all different kinds of stain, from food to juice, and bodily fluids to crayon and ink! So, it’s best to first remove the seat from the car to give yourself a little more space to work. You can use Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power Gel to treat stains on removable covers. The Oxi Action formula removes stains, brightens colours and eliminates odours from the first wash.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the car seat and untie the belts and straps.

2. If you’re dealing with a serious mess, wipe away any chunks or debris and vacuum the car seat thoroughly.

3. If your car seat has a removable cover, take this off and pop it in a wash with Vanish Gel (double check any instructions from the car seat brand).

4. If your car seat is not removable, follow the steps for how to clean car seat upholstery.

5. Much like cleaning the permanent upholstery in your car, removing stains from a baby’s car seat works best if treated soon after the damage is done.
