Cleaning Camry SE Interior - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I am pretty good @ keeping my Car clean, however my interior needs some love.
Here is my dilemma: The interior fabric is a waffle pattern that captures dirt and lint like a magnet.
I have used a lint roller and fabric brush, but I want to get it really clean.
Any suggestions?

Carpet & Upholstery extractor machine with a quality fabric cleaner. Vacuum thoroughly first.

Hey widow's son,

Have you tried using a really powerful vacuum? Is the fabric dirty or just full of lint?

Look forward to your reply,

Thanks,

Justin it is dirty and full of lint. I can get the lint off using a lint roller, but the dirt seems embedded into the fabric.

oh man i know what its like in those car! The gen5 is my sisters DD now and when i feel nice and clean her car the seats are a B*TCH! Girls = hair. Hair + seat = PIA

you can say that again
ive been driving my SE for a while now, and tyhat fabric is super soft and super comfortable and i love how it looks
however, it attracts lint like a magnet...it always manages to clean the lint off my dress pants and shirts

i just frequently vaccum my seats with a powerful vaccum and it cleans them well, but its a PIA to always have to clean them....oh and girls leave their hair everywhere! i have no hair so i dont have that issue
