The base cushions of the seating in our 2017 Coachman have become quite grubby - no stains but through general use. We have tried a spray-on Bissel foam carpet and upholstery cleaner but it seems to have made little difference. Any recommendations please?

I recently fitted a grubby seat from a scrap yard to my van. I used hot water & Tesco Oxi stain remover, soft nail brush & microfibre cloth. Came up like new.

hire a carpet cleaner, and then use the upholstery spray nozzle on it, will bring it up like brand new, but might have been a better idea to do earlier in the week as you need to make sure its totally bone dry before putting back in the caravan

Maybe we were being too gentle - we just rubbed with a cloth.

We use 1001 carpet and upholstery shampoo which not only cleans but leaves a nice refreshing smell as well. It not an expensive product and available at most retail outlets.

Try Vanish carpet and upholstry stain remover foam in the big pink aerosol can, it managed to get our stains out of our sofa at home when our Grandaughter managed to spill Aluminum paint on it.

Good for getting dairy cream off out caravan carpet too, it came up like new.

We used Simoniz car seat shampoo. Works really well.
