It's not as hard as you may fear to remove water stains from upholstered furniture. All you need for this job are white towels and white distilled vinegar.

You may also begin by filling a clean spray bottle with warmed distilled water. Mist the stained area and gently blot from the outside of the stained area to the inside using a clean white cloth. Make sure to blot with a clean area of the cloth each time to prevent "re-staining" the fabric. If the stains are gone, hold a hair dryer on a low setting 6 to 8 inches away and dry the area.

After drying completely if the spot is still there, try a mixture of a 1/2 cup white Cool fabric knitted air layer fabric distilled vinegar to 2 cups water in the spray bottle. Again, blot with a clean white cloth doing a small area at a time and work from the outside of the stains to the inside. Don't wet too heavily and dry very well with the hair dryer or a fan to prevent mildew from forming in the padding.

It's a bitter kind of irony that water can leave a stain, but it does. If the windows in the car are left rolled down and the rain comes from out of nowhere like it sometimes does, it can leave a water stain that can altogether alter the appearance of whatever upholstery it touches. There are several different ways to remove water stains from different types of upholstery that will leave it looking good

Begin by vacuuming the seats using a vacuum with attachments. This will remove any loose dirt or debris. (If loose dirt is left on the seats, it will turn to mud when moistened and cause additional stains.) Spray the dry foam cleaner on the seats. Cover the entire seat, not just the areas with water stains. Brush the foam over the sprayed areas, working it gently into the fabric. Avoid scrubbing too hard with the brush as it can damage the surfaces of some cloth upholsteries. Wipe away the foam with a clean, dry towel.
