Default How to clean the upholstery?

We bought a preowned trail manor and need to clean the upholstery. Is it safe to have it dry cleaned? Can we steam clean it at home? What kind of cleaning solution, if any can we use? Someone suggested that we mix Woolite with water and whip up the mix with a beater to create a foam before applying it to the upholstery. What are you thoughts on this please?

I think it would also make a difference as to what year your TM is or more important what fabric you have on the upholstery.

The fabric can vary depending on which year it was made. I personally have seenn Tm;s with a flower pattern, a tweed, leather and sort of an ultra suede. I have wondered it the red ultasuede would run??? I have the tan ultrasuede...and wish I had the tweed.

We have the Red Micro Fiber & it as well as the rest of the interior is cleaned & protected after each trip with no issues besides the fact Polyester rarely has color bleed issues since it is usually Solution Dyed.
