Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi guys

I have a Morris Traveller (1969) and I'm giving her some TLC. The seats are the original but are (predictably) somewhat worn and stained. I can't afford re-upholstery and I want to keep the orginal seats anyway, so was hoping that a bloody good scrub and clean would help. Can anyone recommend any good cleaning materials/techniques/or tips which might help?

Thank you!

Hi, There are lots of threads on the site regarding this but I have found the following works well. Warm water with a generous splash of vanish. Use a nail brush to work it well into the grain then leave for a few moments. Wipe off with a micro fibre cloth and repeat if required. Good luck

Cilit Bang is good. Despite the stupid name and adverts.

Kitchen spray works well

I put mine in the washing machine and they came up very well.

Hi guys

That's really helpful thanks!

The vast minority - how did you get yours in the washing machine?

I have always used a product called Dissol which works well.Dont know if you can get it in the UK though....

Think he either a) has an industrial size washing machine or b) rather more likely he took the covers off, it isn't difficult! There is a post here or on line somewhere with a step by step guide !

Try Astonish a brilliant cleaner for vinyl .

I find that stubborn deposits can be shifted with a clean rag and spirit wipe (Also called pre paint wipe or panel wipe). Note this is not white spirit and certainly not thinners!

I have also used them and very useful I think B&Q sell them still
