pet, a commercially available fo am-type cleaner can be used.
Use a sponge or brush to spread the foam over the carpet and work it in a cir-
cular motion. Do not apply water directly. Wipe off and dry.
⬛Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge.
Also check the seat belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
