two coffee spots on cloth seats

So, my idiot friend brought coffee into my new matrix and accidently spilled 2 small dots onto my cloth seats. I already tried the tide mini pen cleaner thing but that didnt work...

Anyone got any ideas how i can remove them?
Thanks

I have always used the surfactant carpet cleaner, Folex Spot Remover, with 100% success on my fabric seats over the years. Just spray it on, rub with your fingers, then pat it dry with a paper towel. If you're interested in giving it a whirl you can click this link to see where it's available in your area.

Good luck!

Another vote for Folex. It's a great product. Wal-Mart and Lowes are two places that come to mind, if you're looking for a place go get it.

Hi I know this might sound crazy when we bought our used toyota sienna the interior carpet was TRASHED it was hidden by rugs. ok so I am a mom shout works for my kids clothes. So I sprayed it on the rug and let it sit and dry on. Then I shampooed it. I got all the stains out. I would try pre treating it with shout if you cant find it . take a small brush and a little soap and water and it should come out.
