Washing Exmoor Trim Canvas Covers
Stuck my covers in the wash yesterday following the instruction on the website not to go above 30C. Got them out and they are no cleaner at all!!! Any hints or tips on how to get them clean?

Hi Co1

Just had to ask swmbo what she does my canvas covers on and she has always washed them on a 40 wash with Ariel washing powder and then only dry on the washing line or the cloths aria Very Happy

When i take them off of the seats, i always do all the velcro up again, washes them better than them undone Thumbs Up 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

Cheers Clayton. Did mine at 30, so maybe need to up it. When they came out they were no cleaner that when they went in!
