How does one get out the odor of human persperation from 
cloth car seats?  During the summer people are wearing shorts, and
t-shirts.  When the car has been sitting in the sun, and the A/C
hasn't cooled it, or the passengers, off yet, it can get pretty
uncomfortable.  The inevitable sweating gets into the seat material,
and on humid rainy days like today, the heretofore undetectable odor
LEAPS for your nose!

Is there any way to get this odor out?  (Note:  I Scotchgarded the
seats when I got the car in April and the material is now water-
resistant.)  And once I get the odor out, what means can be used to
prevent a recurrence of this unpleasant phenomenon?

Your posted replies, or mail, will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
