Proper Leather Seat Care & Cleaning Tips 

Wondering how to clean leather car seats? Leather is especially vulnerable, so you’ll want to carefully follow these steps to ensure you don’t damage the tone or texture of your leather upholstery: 

1. First, vacuum crumbs and dirt out of the crevices of your leather upholstery, 
2. Then, apply a pH-neutral and brand-approved cleaning solution to your upholstery. If the leather is perforated, make sure not to get any solution in the perforations. Need help finding the right cleaner? Reach out to our parts department. 
3. Next, use the microfiber cloth to remove smudges and dirt, and the soft bristle brush to remove grime and stubborn stains. Make sure you use the brush gently so that you don’t leave any scratch marks. 
4. Then, remove any remaining solution with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
5. Finally, apply leather conditioner and work it into the upholstery with the microfiber cloth. Let the conditioner dry, and then, buff your seats. This will keep your upholstery supple and help it avoid cracking.

Sumter drivers should take care to avoid using cloths with dark dye in them, furniture polish, detergent, or sharp objects that they may scratch up the upholstery.
