Heard Mr.Muscle is quite good for stuborn stains, but test on small bit first I guess.

I have coffee stains on my seat which will be tackled this weekend.

Take Carpet out and use fairy liquid on it, will get rid of the diesel bit will take some scrubbing and rinsing to clean.

Cheers guys, Fairly liquid and a good soaking seems to be the only way to tackle it. That or get new carpets.

jet wash, pref with mats out first

best doing as above but get your hands in an extractor..

and suck out as much fluid as possible...

The smell will stay on it for days. Clean what you can off with a carpet vac if you can, then put it somewhere warm/hot overnight if possible. try to evaporate as much off as you can. it will eventually go, but not for a while.

My Mother spilled a coouple litres of diesel in her old car, rear seats replaced, boot lining replaced and carpets etc washed countless times before it wetn away, althouth not totally!! very difficult to get rid. The fairy and then as others have said should do it well, vac is good idea after a good initial wash etc.
