Upholstry cleaner

Has anyone found a good Upholstery cleaner for the seats in the HHR? I do not know what GM was thinking when someone decided to use this type of material on the seats. Even water seems to leave a stain. I am most likely going to live with it though the summer then find a good set of seatcovers or reupholster the seats.

I had good luck with Simple Green, but the key thing is cleaning the whole seat, spot cleaning just makes a mess.

Been using their products forever, great results, never a problem, the cleaner/degreaser is a good hand cleaner.

Kids and pets

I use kids and pets. Saturate area with kids and pets rub with clean cloth or scrub brush let stand about 10 minutes. then use another clean towel or rag that's pretty wet but not soaking wet and scrub area. if rag is clean then let dry if dirty use another clean wet area of the rag and repeat as needed. This has always worked for me.
