Stain removal tips from Toyota service techs!

It’s not just drinks that stain your car. There are other gross and pesky substances that tend to stay around like grease, vomit and even blood. If your car is riddled with stains, you can enhance the appearance of your car by removing the stains. Our Orlando Toyota service techs are explaining how to remove stains depending upon the substance!
  • To remove coffee or soda stains: Like we said, these things happen. If you have coffee or soda stains in your upholstery or carpet, start with stain removal by spraying it with cold water. Blot the wet stain with a towel and then spray with glass cleaner. Glass cleaner is an excellent stain remover when you let it sit for several minutes. Reblot the stain until removed.
  • To remove grease stains: If you're doing some DIY car maintenance on your car and you happen to get grease on the interior of your vehicle, our Orlando Toyota service experts suggest removing it with diluted paint thinner. This strong substance will eat up the grease and help remove it from the upholstery. Once you've blotted out the stain, sprinkle a bit of salt where the paint thinner was placed to absorb it and remove it from your interior.
  • To remove vomit stains: The experience of car sickness is something no one wants to go through, but it does happen. If you can't make it off to the side of the road in time, this stain removal tip from our Orlando Toyota service experts might come in handy. To remove this smelly stain, you'll need to douse the area with cold water. Use dish soap, warm water and a scrub brush to get the stain out of the seat or carpet. Scrub until the stain is no longer in sight and let it air dry. If there are remnants of the stain, use a bit of club soda to get it out.
