Question cleaning seats?

I have 2 nautis that need to be cleaned. I wash the covers regularly, but I have noticed some stains that did not wash off. It looks like a water spot. Any advice on getting it out? I have no idea what it is, they don't eat anything other than the occassional breakfast bar in the car. Also, how do you clean the shell? Can I take the harness off and hose it out?

I just cleaned two Graco Argos seats. One was in my friend's car and she lets her kids eat and drink anything in their seats so it was much dirtier than my seats where I only let the kids have water to drink and rarely anything to eat so my seats weren't as dirty. There were a lot of crumbs in the bottom of the seat from my friend's car, under the cover. I vacuumed out as much of the crumbs as I could, then used a damp cloth to wipe the shell down all over. There were crumbs stuck in tiny little crevices so I poured a little hot water in those crevices and used a toothbrush to clean the crumbs out. I don't know that I'd feel comfortable hosing it off.

As for the cover, if there were obvious stains I sprayed them with Shout or whatever laundry stain remover I had, then just machine washed them on the delicate cycle with Tide. My new washer has a dedicated dispenser for Oxi Clean that dispenses it at a certain point during the wash cycle, so I used that too. I don't use fabric softener but rather vinegar instead in the fabric softener dispenser. The covers came out nice and clean.

Thank you! I will try a toothbrush. They aren't too bad, and I am not sure what the stain is, but I like them to be clean.
