I figure I should use dish soap? And should I be using a steamer as well, on something like this?

edit: these are cloth seats
So by the time I got out to the car today, the meat juice had already seeped so far down it glitched out the seat occupancy sensor.

The i3 kept bonging at me, telling me the passenger needs to put their seatbelt on.

I skipped the steam cleaner for Round 1, and just went straight to town with soapy water and shop vac.

Minor win: the staining seems to be mostly gone, just some outlines left behind near the ends where I can totally get it next time.

Major lose: now the i3 is telling me there's a sensor fault in the passenger seat and please immediately take the car in for service.
