My friend's son left a big bag of gummy bears in the back seat of her car and over the course of the day they melted into gummy bear soup, all over her leather seats! She has cleaned up what she could but still has sticky stains on her seats. Any advise I can give her?

What can I do next?

I would rent or get a small carpet cleaner that has upholstery tools with it and give it a try in a small area 1st to be sure it works and doesnt ruin it. THere is a little one that Walmart and Target sell called the Little Green- I think. It is about $70 but is designed to use to spot cean. We rent the Rug Dr to clean the carpet in our house, you can get it at most big grocery stores and some big drug store chains. It is rented by the day for 24 hrs and costs about $25-30 plus cleaning solution, which they sell in various sizes for the machine. When we are done cleaning carpet in our house I use it in the car on the floor mats and have used in on a coffee stain I had on the car seat too a few yrs ago. It cleaned both quite well. The upholstery tools of tthe Rug Dr must be rented separately, but all stores who rent the machine have them; they are about $6 add'l per day for rental. Be sure she tests it 1st on an inconspicious area of car seat to be sure it doenst discolor or harm it though. My car was over 5 yrs old so I didnt mind, I just wanted the coffee stain out. Hope this helps!

Yikes! You probably shouldn't use water on leather!! Use leather cleaner, or saddle soap.

buy some leather cleaner or some goof off. Be careful with the goof off and make sure to look at the back of the packing to make sure that it does not stain or harm leather products. Another thing she could may be try while I am thinking about it is may be some baby oil? Rub it in a small spot with a soft cotton cloth and see if it helps. I would may be then once it is all removed put some leather conditioner on the seat where the gummy bears were. Good luck
