best cleaner for cloth interior?

Let me say I've owned my Ridgeline since Oct - been looking at the Honda "propaganda" for years and KNEW I wanted one....(everytime I went in the place, the general manager would throw a RL brochure at me)...not an impulse buyer - love the dam truck...been everything I thought it was but the only regret I have is NOT getting the leather. How can you get stuff off the cloth?..armrests, seats...? I run water search and rescue out of Beaufort, SC and haul boats outta "OH MY GAWD" landings, pull cargo trailers - travel with kayaks strapped all over it and LOADED with gear....it's a great truck....but - had a Passport and used ANY kinda cloth cleaner and it worked great - not on these seats...sorry if this has been covered somewhere else....

I put a gallon of cold water on the front seat and the sweat from the water bottle stained the seat so my wife said to use WOOLITE carpet cleaner and it worked

I'LL DOIT!...but doesn't it sound a little weird that clean water stains the material :( ? We've used a couple of cleaners and you can see a sort of ring where we applied it...?

IF I can get it clean...is there anything you can use to treat it to keep it from re-staining...(Scotchguard?) I'm considering seat covers for at least the front...

Nothin' will take pluff mud out of fabric. :)

I use to dive the Edisto & Cooper a lot and just kept a beach towel to throw over the seat. I had a '91 Cherokee that I sold 10 years ago that probably still smells like the river.

:D LOL! AH-OOGA! DIVE, DIVE!

No, no pluff mud...I have those cheapo roll-up seat covers when I'm a little wet - and would never get in with a wet wetsuit on...this stuff "appears" through normal use...weird - looks like it's a light oil stain...just a little darker than the rest of the seat...use cleaner and IT leaves a spot that's a shade different from the rest of the seat....

I used some Turtle Wax foaming upholstery cleaner with fairly good success. I don't understand why this particular fabric stains as easily as it does. Wish I had sprung for leather!

I scotchguarded my seats a couple days after buying it because the dog hd some water on his chin and it stained the center armrest, so far so good with no further staining (though I keep a towl over the center arm rest now just in case, but the seats still look good after a month and something.

But I'd be leary about applying scotchguard to a vehicle that already has stains in teh upholstery. I'd be concerned more about locking it in if it has existing stains.

Are the rings that you see after cleaning the area on the seat looking like they have been bleached out? Maybe the cleaner was too harsh and pulled some color out of the fabric or just maybe all of the seat is stained and where you are cleaning it is taking it back to the original shade of color and the surrounding area is dirtier than you might think it to be?

Anyway, there is a thread here somewhere with peoples suggestions on what they use to clean stains in their seats but I can't find it at the moment.
