Best way to clean interior:

[acerbix]

Hello -

Apologies if this has been discussed and decided - I am a new owner and a new user of this forum. Took the car and family for a long drive this weekend, and in the mountains our kid had an incident, causing him to leave his partially digested lunch all over the back seat and flooring.

1: In reading this thread - What are you using to clean your seats in the Model 3 - ONR seems to be the consensus for exterior, but some doubts were expressed about its ability to clean interiors. Is that still the case?

2: If ONR isn't it, what is the best way to get fluids out of the back seat and flooring?

3: Is ONR still the consensus for exterior cleaning?

Any advice will be gratefully received.

The best way I've found is to take it to my local auto detailer and pay them $29 to wash the outside and clean the interior. It looks like new when they're done and I only have to play games on my phone for about 45 minutes waiting for them to finish.

I have posted the same question about cleaning the seats. Most say just water and microfiber cloth. Still doing research.

Thanks! Since you are in AZ, if you are in the Phoenix area do you mind sharing who your auto detailer is? I might start using them since you are pretty happy with their work

Did you try using water and microfiber? How did that work out for you?

We have cloth seats in our S and X. The one time the grandkids spilled juice in the back seat we used our Bissell 86T3/86T3Q Big Green Deep Cleaning Professional Grade Carpet Cleaner Machine. It worked fine. No smell, stickiness or stains, although its pretty difficult to stain black fabric.

I work in Yuma, so I use Express Auto RV Care Center in the Foothills, east of Yuma. They do great work and are very reasonably priced.
