Normal cleaning
General surface soiling of the upholstery and fabric trim can be cleaned with a commercially available foam cleaner.
If upholstery and fabric trims are generally heavily soiled, take the vehicle to a specialist cleaning company.
Stain removal
When removing stains, it may be necessary to clean a large surface and not just the stain itself. Especially if the surface is generally worn. The cleaned area could otherwise be lighter than the surrounding area.
