mark123RV antifreeze
I use RV antifreeze in my spraying equipment to prevent the lines from bursting. I picked some up on Friday and one of the bottles tipped over on my truck seat on the way home. Of choose it was the one with the open foil seal and now my passenger seat is saturated. Probably lost about half gallon on it. It's still wet 3 days later.
Does this stuff ever dry? How do I clean it out of the cushion?

rsboloIt is water soluble, but soaked into the cushions like that? Oh man, I don't know. Good luck.

MNSIGAt least your butt won't stick to the seat in the winter when wearing only your chaps.

mark123I think this stuff is propylene glycol. I'll check the label when I get back home.

They're cloth seats. Do you think I'd buy a truck that I couldn't wear chaps in? Do you even know me anymore?

OzarkwoodsYou could pull the seat out and remove the cover and then wash the cover and cushion then dry. I don’t think your cushion is able to be saved.

Probably pink or purple in color depending on the temperature rating, and yes it should be propylene glycol. At least it's potable and ecologically safe.

jimmy123xGet a carpet machine and shampoo it out ASAP and try to get all of it. The issue is going to be the pink dye. If that dries in the seat fabric I don't think you'll ever get it out.
