Subaru Forester: Seat fabric - Cleaning the interior - Appearance care - Subaru Forester Owner's ManualSubaru Forester: Seat fabric

Remove loose dirt, dust or debris with a vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the fabric or hard to remove with a vacuum cleaner, use a soft brush then vacuum it.

Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly wrung cloth and dry the seat fabric thoroughly. If the fabric is still dirty, wipe using a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water then dry thoroughly.

If the stain does not come out, try a commercially-available fabric cleaner. Use the cleaner on a hidden place and make sure it does not affect the fabric adversely.

Use the cleaner according to its instructions.

NOTE
When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, paint thinner, or any similar materials.
