Moreover, Nylon lining is very hard to stain; thus, a wipe with a damp cloth will do fine for minor spillage.

First and foremost, you need to ensure that cleaning the seat covers becomes a normal practice. This ensures that Neoprene seat covers will do their job of keeping your seat stain-free while also increasing its lifespan. Now, here are the steps of how to clean Neoprene seat covers:

The first step in cleaning your Neoprene seat covers will be to remove any debris lying on the top of the seat. This is helpful in the complete removal of dirt and cleaning of the rest of the cover's surface. Once the debris is removed, plug in your vacuum cleaner with a longer attachment. It will remove all the dust and dirt on your seat cover.

Preparing a Neoprene seat cover cleaning solution is very easy and only requires two things you will be able to find in your household. Firstly, you will need a bucket, and about 2 gallons of warm water will be enough to clean all the seat covers. Secondly, mix 1 to 2 Tablespoons of Laundry detergent in the warm water. Ensure mixing the detergent properly into the warm water until you get a soapy-looking liquid solution. You may use something long such as a paint mixer, to prepare the solution. Also, if you are looking for an alternative to preparing the solution, you can purchase any Neoprene seat cover cleaning solutions.

Once you have prepared the solution for your Neoprene seat covers, you can start applying it to your seat covers with a soft sponge. Dip the sponge into the Detergent solution you have prepared and wipe down the seat covers properly. Make sure to cover all the sides to provide you with a uniform cleaning. One important thing that you should keep in your mind while applying the solution is not to leave a lot of liquid on the seat. Always remove any excess liquid from the seat cover once you apply the detergent solution.

After applying the soapy detergent solution, you will have to start with rinsing the seat covers with clean water. For this, you will need a bucket of clean water and a fresh sponge. Start by dipping the sponge in the clean water and rinse the seat covers from end to end. It is very important to ensure that all the soapy liquid is removed from the seat covers. You might need to repeat this rinsing process two or three times. But it would be best if you always prioritized that no liquid residual is left on the covers.

By now, all the soapy solution will be removed from the Neoprene seat covers, and the next will be to dry it out of moisture. Take a dry rag or cloth and start to wipe down the seat covers. Try to perform this action several times so the rag will soak up most of the moisture. You can also complete this with a blow dryer.

So, these are the steps you will need to follow in cleaning your Neoprene seat covers. Just in case you are left with any hard-to-remove stains after following the above steps then consider using an Upholstery cleaner such as Seat Cover Treatment Texumbra. With such cleaners, all you have to do is to spray it on the stain and let it dry. Once it is dry, take a rag and wipe it off to get a clean Neoprene seat cover.
