Default interior cleaning

so this post isn't really about any issues just simply posting what i'm currently working on and my progress
i finally got my rear seat out and boy was it a mess so dirty and dusty.
took some warm water and soap and scrubbed the floor and the back of the cab really good look a lot better then it did.
next day i'm going to be putting some diluted bleach water on the floor to help clean it more then i gotta try to find some way to clean the nasty seat and my ceiling.
the reason behind me doing all this is because the truck hasn't really been cleaned it 10+ years and it smells SOOO bad that my wife won't even ride in it lol.
but if u guys have any cleaning idea throw them my way thanks and have a blessed day

rear seat is badly stained

the ceiling has small stains

the floor AFTER the first cleaning

warm water and soap

Don't use bleach, it will do exactly what it says it will.... bleach it out. If you have carpeting/upholstery you want to get squeaky clean, pick up some "awesome" from the dollar store. (dollar tree? family dollar?? one of them guys anyway.) The stuff is indeed awesome. For the truly filthy stuff, cut it 50/50, and it will get out just about anything.

I'd try taking off the lower seat upholstery its much more effective that way than trying to spray products on it. Whatever is on it may have gotten down to the foam also.

I have a Bissel little green machine that i use to clean my seats, My truck smelled way better after cleaning with it. I recommend getting one.

I regularly take her to a service that offers premium interior cleaning services, I had some problems with some stains on the chairs in the past, I don't know what solutions I use for cleaning but they have parted after a few washes

They are many ways to tackle a stain. Professional shops use a pre treatment called Bio Kill or something similar (in case it's bodily fluids or organic) then use basically a multipurpose cleaner

Try some of that foam carpet cleaner stuff from the auto stores, i think its in a yellow can. Might take a little scrubbing but it should take all that out pretty easy. Or if you want to spend the cash theres this thing my father uses, i believe its called a tornado, that works miracles on carpet and seats
