Tips on How to Clean Leather Car Seats

In order to get your leather car seats to look like new again, follow these instructions:

1. Vacuum the crevices of your leather car seats in order to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may have built up.
2. After the debris is removed, apply a pH-neutral cleaning solution to your upholstery. Make sure you avoid getting any of the liquid cleaner into the perforations in the seating.
3. Use a microfiber cloth and a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the leather car seats.
4. Once the seats are clean, you’ll want to apply an approved leather conditioner to the seats and gently work it in with a clean microfiber cloth. Let the conditioner dry, then nuff it into the leather with another clean microfiber cloth. When you use a leather conditioner, you can keep your seats from cracking over time.

What Cleaning Products Should Be Used?

It’s recommended that you use a colorless, simple damp rag to lightly dust off your leather car seats. If you’re looking for a more thorough cleaning in Lynnfield, you can use warm water with a bit of soap or a specially made leather cleaner to wipe down the seats. Need some recommendations?
