Sensible stuff Expat, there are countless seat covers available, a set of which is going to be much cheaper than sourcing and fitting even one section of a seat.
Children are going to be messy, it comes with the territory, ditto the inebriated, there is a time for having lovely materials to sit on and admire, if the vehicle is child transport you have to protect nice materials from the little horrors.
Milk based products there is no alternative if its been spilled or vomited, the material whether its a carpet (the whole lot plus underlay and anything else that's been touched) or a seat, it has to be removed immediately from the car before it has a chance to dry and impregnate and soaked and washed repeatedly or the smell will be overpowering in a matter of weeks and it will never go away.
An ex colleage once spilled a cup of coffee in my regular lorry (annoying fellow at the best of times), he cleaned up as best he could, this i didn't find out about till after i had eventually traced it, but the most awful smell arrived after a couple of months and it never diminished.
Eventually i tracked the smell down, a small penny sized drop of coffee (latte) had got underand impregnated into the rubber liner mat of a centre drawer, a liner about 2ft square, when i lifted the mat out the smell was incredible, i washed the tray itself, hard plastic, that was fine after.
The rubber mat i steam cleaned it, i put it through the dishwasher cycle twice, i put all sort of chemicals on it, nothing would touch it, eventually binning it was the only option.
That would have been maybe half a teaspoon of milk, it became over 12 months of sheer misery.
