We have a 2012 Escape with cloth seats.
If you get water on them it stains the cloth...this material sucks...

A well known issue that's been around since they started using the seat cover made of some kind of recyclable byproducts or something like that. Some have had them replaced under warranty but some have had them cleaned but it didn't solve the problem.

This is true about the water stains but, on the flip side, the material is very durable.

same problem with ours. ridunkulous. It comes clean (with TuffStuff) but any amount of moisture makes a new mark.
