    ive got a 2008 4R SR5 with the cloth seats. i my entire water bottle leaked out onto the seat and i didnt notice right away. the seat now has a brownish color in spots. who has had luck bringing seats back to life? and how did you do it? they are still in good condition just a coloring issue, so i dont want to do covers

    Both above responses are great options
    If you don't have any of those machines, you can also throw a brush attachment on your drill with spraying some APC (all purpose cleaner), scrub it out, and vacuum it up with a wet/dry vac.
