If oil has spilled on your car seat, here’s what to do: immediately blot with absorbent paper or a microfiber cloth: NEVER rub, as this will spread the oil and push it deeper. Sprinkle baking soda or corn starch on the stain and leave it for 10-15 minutes to absorb the grease.

Then vacuum it up. Next, apply a specific car upholstery cleaner and gently scrub with a soft brush. Wipe off with a damp cloth.

A steam clean will remove any remaining stains and odours. The key in these cases is the speed of your response.

Avoid overly aggressive products that could discolour the fabric.
