..but what do you do if you spill a large latte on the front passenger seat of your car?

On a day like today, when the car's sitting in the sun, it gets a little hot and the milk starts to whiff a bit.  Obviously scrubbing the seat and using an upholstery cleaner will clean the fabric of the seat - but what about the stuff that's soaked through?  Has anyone done this and had it 'steam-cleaned' or some sort of dry-cleaning done?

Any bright ideas from the bright people on blonde?

:dontask:

wait till morning and milk it ;)

Get the hoover on it, using one of those tube attachment thingys to hopefully suck most of it up..............the wife told me.

Geo

lol, yes but the milk would get sucked nto the hoover engine and blow it up...............

It's a hoover, not a tank...

;D

Sell the car. Give Thewy a ring, he has an eye for a bargain.

It's a company car.

Sun?!  What's that?

LOL - it was pretty warm round here today. 

even better, 100% profit :)

Dan, as a word of warning look at the link on edited post above

;D - but how's that going to help clean up the milk? 

Exactly my first thought when I read the post lol.

I sold this car once that absolutely stunk inside, we'd had it steam cleaned, left the windows and boot open for days on end but this smell wouldn't go away. God knows how but one day I actually managed to sell the bloody thing and although they didn't seem to notice the smell I thought I'd better try to get it sorted or I'd probably never hear the end of it once they actually realised that their new car hummed.

So I had it valeted again, still stunk. Then got some specialists to come over and they let off a nice smelling kind of stink bomb thing in the car, left it running with the AC on recirc for a while, has never failed to get rid of a smell, until this time. Looks like I'm pretty stuffed but all I can do is leave the windows open as much as poss before they came to pick it up a few days later.

I make sure I take their money before I show them around the car and I just run through the usual bits and bobs like how to open the bonnet etc. I go to show them where the wheel jack is and it's not there. In it's place was a plastic packet which I pull out quickly and see that it is half filled with some kind of liquid. I look at the label and it is a packet of prawns with a sell by date 3-4 months earlier. I say I'll just grab you a jack, chuck the packet in the bin, nick a jack from another car and off they go happy as larry. No come backs, no complaints, nice little deal :)

It won't, but it does give us an idea of what guys called Dan use hoovers for.

Drink espresso, it's finished by the time you reach the car and you don't look like a ponce...

Happened to me once...it fades after about 3 years.

Your best bet is to crash it.

Reverse it into a wall, tell the company someone hit you in the rear, then drove off, thus spilling the Latte and with just a valet to pay for they should be grateful it is not a biigger claim from yourself loss of earnings from whiplash.

If that fails, rip the seat out, more leg room whilst in the back..

Here's the same guy 3 weeks ago on the Edinburgh festival parade, this time he's stuck to a motorbike

And here's TK on the same parade riding his bike...........

Latte...that's what we used to call coffee with milk, right? I can't keep up with all that poncy-Starbucks inspired nonsense.

exactly, its been freezing all day, i had the heating and its august, sick

its a weather consparicy against me

Been our hottest day in yonks here..very sunny ..

Dont drink and drive daniel!!

It wasn't me - and it wasn't my car.  I don't like coffee...

fabric seats ?

how working class....

 ;whistle; ;whistle;

Whare's this hot weather youspeak of .I'ts rained all day here in South east. in fact it's rained all week. no all month,no all summer.

and i put the heating on too. Bloody global warming!!!!!!!

I've cured loads of stinky or stained seats, what you do is

1: Remove seat

2: Run hose through it for 20 mins

3: Leave to dry (Conservatory or green house)

4: Re-fit seat


Next week, footprints on roof linings.

:)up

Just have to check all the airbag connections to make sure the seat doesn't inflate when we take it out and float away in the breeze.

Note. The last time I did one airbags hadn't been invented

checking for electrical components might be an idea

Nah.  You can be too cautious at times.  Just like your poker... :dontask:

This is why i never let anyone drink or eat in my car!

(unless we're parked).

Red's advice sounds about the only thing that would properly work but if u take it out the car try and rub a generous amount upholstery shampoo into the material with a rag before you hose is as the water should rinse the shampoo deep into the seat.

Good Luck!
