This fabric cleaner and shampoo by Chemical guys is practical and efficient because it’s made with a natural degreaser, and has special enzymes in the ingredients that help soak into and remove tough stains and bacteria build-up in fabric.
Often, through normal use, people track in different types of dirt and stains on their shoes, or even clothes. This, in addition to other body oils, dirt from your hair, sweat, or even pets can make the upholstery not only very dirty, but also smell unruly. If you’ve had pets sleeping or living in your car and have serious odor, in addition to using this fabric cleaner, accompanying your efforts post-application with a bacteria-fighting deodorizer is ideal, as it also helps to remove the build-up of bacteria and dust from pets in other places throughout your upholstery – such as the ceiling fabric.

Customers have had great success with and trust the Chemical Guys brand for removing even the toughest of stains, and this carpet and upholstery shampoo is equally popular among professional car detailers – which says a lot for an automotive cleaning product. The Chemical Guys CWS_103 Fabric Cleaner is a concentrate fabric cleaner, which means it is made for ultimate strength and requires you to dilute the cleaning agent in a bottle using a 20:1 ratio of clean (ideally warm) water for maximum results.
Advantages and disadvantages
- This Chemical Guys Upholstery and Fabric Cleaner is perfect for carpets, even if they haven't been cleaned in years, as it's been proven effective to get the most stubborn, deep stains out of carpets and car upholstery.
- Customers have reported a positive experience during use, and that the actual amount of (concentrate) cleaner required is minimal – as it’s designed to be diluted with water.
- In comparison to other upholstery cleaners and shampoos, this product hands down gives the best results, but should ideally be accompanied by a durable, reputable cleaning brush for harder scrubbing. That is, depending on the nature of the stain or stains, and how much ‘elbow grease’ is required. There are, for example, products available on the market to accompany your cleaning efforts, such as power-drill friendly cleaning brushes, sponges, and other types of bristle cleaners or sponges.
- This car interior upholstery cleaner is also great for scrubbing out stains from your cars chairs, headliners, and even seats which often only will require light-scrubbing. Even in tough situations where your vehicle has been neglected of cleaning in the past, or perhaps has weathering stains from elements like snow-salt, it is equally effective. Most customers find it effective to let the chemical compound sit for a few minutes, and then scrub with a towel, rinse, and dry.
- Some customers have complained or been disappointed with this fabric and upholstery cleaner as it failed to remove certain types of stains. However, in some instances if a vehicle’s upholstery has simply been left unmaintained for too many years, it may very well be necessary (in extreme cases) to replace your vehicle upholstery entirely – or in sections, to save money.
- Also, for certain types of stains such as pen ink or bodily fluids, other cleaners may be more effective. Above all else, it’s important to keep in mind that depending on how deep, and how long you’ve let certain stains ‘sit’, it may require additional efforts, patience, or re-applications of the Chemical Guys Fabric Cleaner.
