Does anyone know if the Kitfox seat covers supplied by
Skystar can be dry cleaned, or how to clean them?
They appear to be synthetic with foam and plastic.

I took mine to the shop last summer, John. They said that they didn't
dare to dry-clean it but they used another method. I don't know exactly
what they did but it was a good job. I suggest you take yours to your
dry-cleaning shop and ask their professional advice.
Cheers,

John, I had mildew growing on my seats and removed them from the plane. I sprayed them with a bleach solution and scrubbed them with a scrub brush. Bleach mixture was 1 bleach to 3 water. Let it sit for appx 10 minutes then rinse and leave in the sun to dry... Worked for me. Steve Bennett 4-1200 912ul.
Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Gents,
My seat upholstery is the yellow and red from SkyStar, and as it was getting pretty grimy, particularly the yellow part, I brought it in few weeks ago and turned it over to the cleaning expert around here, my wife. I believe all I said was, could you work on cleaning this dear, I dont think it can be put in the wash machine, because of the backing and left it in her expert hands.
about 2 days later she brought it to me looking better than new.
I said thank you very much dear, it looks fantastic, which it does. How did you do it?
"Oh it I just put it thru the washing machine on the delicate cycle," she replied
I gulped and said "Your kidding!" and immediatelyy began an inspection on the backing, which is perfect shape. She said " No I am not, I rubbed the worst spots with a little spray n wash and scrubbed some liquid detergent in a few spots, and washed it, and hung it to air dry"
Looks great men...and the backing is perfect.

Ahh, I think it was a fluke.... How's about I send mine, (postage due) she repeats the process, sends 'em back postage paid.... and I'll post the results.
Sounds like a winner to me. :- )
