I hate these seats, I plan on just covering them. If I had the money I would swap them out all together. The 02-04s were nicer seats, IMO.

They sell carpet/Upholstery cleaner but even that stains my seats.

Obviously you don't eat Cheetos in your Jeep! Cheetos will stain concrete even.

Yes, the cloth seats stain very easy. Mine would stain when a bottle of Ozarka water spilled. I found that they would come clean pretty easy though. I would just pour clean water over them. Them I would just suction up the water with my shop vac. it would amazingly remove all of the water stains that I had.

Then I bought the Iggee seat covers. Great investment. Now I never worry. Had a Dr. Pepper spill and just wiped it off with a rag that I keep under the seat.

mine back seats look like a battle field. it has so many stains of different levels of darkness and size. its looks horrible. i tried cleaning them last week with the turtle wax foam and brush. no they stayed the same. i might just go buy the actual oxy clean thing and try it out.

We have a little upholstery cleaner that we use to clean the interior of the KJ with.
It preforms really good on the seats, carpeting, and the head liner.

Get this, I brought the KJ in to get the windshield replaced on Friday.
Aside from the fact that the glass shop managed to kill the front
windshield washers and now they do not work! (going there again today
and am going to get it fixed at their expense. Our insurance company
Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) who has informed us
to back today and ask them to repair it. If they say no, we are to leave
and then ICBC will step in and have it fixed and then they (ICBC) will just
bill the glass shop.
But, the glass shop was nice enough to clean the carpets, floor mats,
cleaned the seats front and rear, and wash the outside as well and did it for free.
And the inside was due for another interior cleaning. The seats were heavily
stained from rain water, and just dirty, and see below!.
Mind you, my whole family have been customers of this shop since 1973 33 years
of excellent service.
I have been using them for the last 25 years. So I don't think it will be a problem.
I'm sure that they will take care of it. If not, the Insurance company will take from there.

Oh, and yes I have two daughters aged 13 years old and almost 15 years old!
They were horsing around in the back seat and had just inhaled a large
bag of Cheeto's and managed to get little orange finger prints all over the headliner,
and Coke all over the front and rear seats!
I managed to blot up 99% of the Coke, but the seats still got dirty.

Yes. Children teach us patience and provide us humility and an understanding that sometimes, no matter how much we wish it, life just cannot be controlled.
I especially love the passive/aggressive maneuvers that children do, like complying with instructions to "eat your vegetables" by hiding said vegetables in unique places for you to find - sometimes years - later.
Glad you managed to get the seats clean.

Yes... Just as I thought that all the seats were clean...
Along comes my 15 year old daughter Cooper! Who just returned home from a weekend camping trip and we take her home to the ex-whiff!
It almost looks as though she couldn't hold her number 1, let alone her number 2!

YUK!

Back to square one!
Only this time I will throughly clean all the seats again and install some neoprene seat covers!
