How to Clean Leather Car Seats

Buying a vehicle with leather seats for your Bartlett drives is an exciting purchase. Leather seats feel more luxurious than cloth, but they do require more care to keep the upholstery in good condition. Ensure proper leather seat care with these helpful tips from Biggers Chevrolet.

How Do You Keep Leather Seats in Good Condition?

• Vacuum Your Seats: Vacuum the crevices of your seats to remove any dust, dirt, or debris.
• Clean Your Seats: Use a pH-neutral cleaning solution with a microfiber cloth and soft-bristled brush to gently clean the leather upholstery. Make sure you don’t get any liquid cleaner into perforated seats.
• Condition Your Seats: With a new microfiber cloth, you can rub a leather conditioner into the seats.
• Protect the Leather: To protect the leather, keep your vehicle out of the sun around the Schaumburg area by parking under a tree or in a garage.

What Cleaning Products Should Be Used?

You should use a colorless, simple damp rag to lightly dust your car seats in Streamwood. For a more thorough wash, you can use warm water with a bit of soap or a specially made leather cleaner to wipe down the seats. You can check your owner’s manual for recommendations. You can also research what the best type of leather conditioner is for Chevrolet seats.

There are certain products you should stay away from when it comes to leather seat care:

• Sharp objects that may scratch
• Household cleaner
• Dark cloths
• Detergents
• Furniture polish
