Steam Cleaning Made Cheap and Easy
Before and After Pics
I was kinda skeptical when my buddy told me about this, I was bored this morning and still needing to clean the truck I decided I would try it.
Materials used: Bucket, water, roll of paper towels (brawney), Oxyclean, and an Iron.
What I did was mixed the Oxyclean and water in a bucket/tub then pulled apart the papertowels in sheets. I let them soak up the water and then pulled them out one by one and layed them on the seats. One of the pics shows this. I noticed it was takin up the crud before I even hit it with the iron. After I layed them all out over both seats I hit it with the iron on the side I started on.
Over all I am impressed with the results of this using only stuff I had around the house. Hope this helps someone clean their seats.

That looks really simple to do and the results are well worth the effort. I am glad to see you got the truck clean. Looks better! Nice job. :fireman:

I see you finally got your truck, Krash...and it's a beaut.
Like your cleaning method too, low-cost & works great
I'm going to do the same thing for my carpet-cleaning needs! Thx!

How hot do you set the iron? Low, medium, high? Or, does it even matter as long as you don't melt the fabric?

I didn't really put it on a particular setting I just kept it on high and kept moving the iron around so that it didn't do any melting.
