Subaru Forester: Cleaning the interior / Seat fabric
Remove loose dirt, dust or debris with a
vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the

Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly wrung
cloth and dry the seat fabric thoroughly. If
the fabric is still dirty, wipe using a solution
of mild soap and lukewarm water then dry
thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a
