Yes, it is that time of the year again – footy season. Across all corners of Australia, millions of parents are transporting their sons and daughters to sports fixtures and training sessions.
In fact, according to the latest figures from Roy Morgan Research, there are more than 1.2 million soccer players alone aged between 6 and 13. Add in the statistics from rugby league, rugby and AFL and there are millions of kids getting outside, playing with their mates in the mud and rain.
While this is fun for them, for their parents, it is a completely different story. Ask any parent and there is certainly an ongoing battle to ensure wet and muddy children don't ruin car seats.
The problem with mud
With many pitches in Australia affected by mud during the rainy winter, looking after the car's upholstery becomes a top priority.
Based on an article from House Cleaning Central, the issue with mud comes after it is dried. While it can be easily wiped away when wet, if it is ground into the seat, it becomes a lot trickier to remove and can leave permanent stains on the seat fabric.
Depending on the type of mud, this could potentially leave an odour in the vehicle as well.
It is also important to remember that mud interacts with upholstery in different ways. While on some, it is simple to wipe and remove, the type of fabric could make it difficult to clean – leaving a major job.
This leaves a simple question for parents: What is the best way to avoid kids getting mud on the car seat? While towels and tarps are options, these are only temporary solutions. By far, the best way to protect the upholstery is through a tailor-made car seat cover.
