The Lazy Bum is a powerful, ready-to-use fabric and upholstery cleaner that effortlessly removes tough stains, dirt, and odours from car seats, carpets, and floor mats. Its deep-penetrating formula eliminates grime without harsh scrubbing, restoring a fresh, like-new finish to your vehicle's interior.

About this product

The Lazy Bum is a professional-grade, ready-to-use cleaning solution formulated for efficient and effective remediation of stains, particulate matter, and malodours from automotive and general upholstery substrates.

Key Technical Attributes & Performance:

  • Advanced Formulation: Engineered with a proprietary blend of surfactants and cleaning agents, designed to penetrate deeply into fabric fibres.
  • Targeted Efficacy: Demonstrates high efficacy against a broad spectrum of common stains, including organic spills, dirt, and general grime.
  • Low-Agitation Requirement: The formula's robust cleaning action minimises the need for mechanical scrubbing, reducing potential fibre wear and labour costs.
  • Residue-Free Finish: Developed to break down and lift contaminants without leaving behind sticky residues that could attract future soiling.
  • Odour Neutralisation: Incorporates agents that chemically neutralise and eliminate malodours at their source, rather than simply masking them.
  • Substrate Compatibility: Proven safe and non-damaging for a wide range of fabric, carpet, and upholstery materials typically found in automotive interiors and commercial settings.

Operational Benefits:

  • Streamlined Process: Facilitates a simplified cleaning protocol (spray, dwell, wipe) for enhanced operational efficiency.
  • Consistent Results: Delivers uniform and predictable cleaning outcomes across various application scenarios.
  • Reduced Labour: Minimises the physical effort required for effective cleaning, leading to improved productivity.

The Lazy Bum represents a robust solution for maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetic integrity of fabric and upholstery surfaces with professional-grade performance and user convenience.

How to use it

The Lazy Bum Kit is designed for effortless and powerful cleaning, specially formulated and paired with our included magic sponges for effective use on vinyl, leather, and canvas surfaces.

Before You Start:

  • Remove Loose Debris: For best results, lightly brush or vacuum the area to remove any loose dust or crumbs.
  • Crucial Test: Always test on an inconspicuous area first (e.g., a hidden seam, underside of a flap) to ensure colourfastness and material compatibility. This is especially important for leather and delicate vinyls. Allow the tested area to dry completely before proceeding.
  • Prepare Sponge (If Using): For vinyl and canvas only, lightly dampen one of the provided magic sponges with water and gently squeeze out any excess. It should be damp, not dripping. Do NOT use magic sponges on finished leather.

Application Steps:

  1. Shake Well: Give The Lazy Bum bottle a good shake before each use to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
  2. Spray Generously: Liberally spray The Lazy Bum directly onto the stained or dirty area. Ensure the surface is thoroughly dampened.
  3. Allow to Dwell: Let the product work its magic. Allow it to dwell on the surface for 1-2 minutes to allow the formula to penetrate and break down the grime.
  4. Agitate & Clean:
  5. Wipe Clean: Using a separate clean, damp (not soaking wet) microfibre cloth, gently wipe away the treated area. Rinse your cloth frequently in clean water and wring out excess.
  6. Blot Dry: Finish by gently blotting the area with a separate, clean, dry microfibre cloth to absorb excess moisture and ensure no residue is left.
  7. Allow to Dry: Leave the treated area to air dry completely. For faster drying, ensure good ventilation. Avoid placing pressure on the damp area until fully dry.

Tips for Best Results:

  • Act Quickly: Treat spills and stains as soon as possible for the easiest removal.
  • Work in Sections: For larger areas, work in manageable sections to ensure even application and effective cleaning.
  • Sponge Usage: Remember, magic sponges are for vinyl and canvas only.
  • Repeat if Necessary: For very old or heavily ingrained stains, a second application may be required after the first has dried.
  • Leather Care Post-Cleaning: After cleaning leather, consider applying a dedicated leather conditioner to nourish and protect the surface once it's fully dry.
