Leather Seat Care

Maintain your leather seats’ pristine condition with these simple steps towards leather seat care:

1. Vacuuming Debris

Start by thoroughly vacuuming the seats to eliminate dust and debris, especially from crevices and seams.

2. Application of Cleaning Solution

Apply a pH-neutral cleaning solution onto the upholstery. Ensure it doesn’t seep into any perforations or sensitive areas.

3. Gently Clean with a Soft Brush and Cloth

Use a soft-bristled brush along with a microfiber cloth to gently clean the leather upholstery. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage.

4. Conditioning the Leather

After cleaning, apply an approved leather conditioner using a clean microfiber cloth. Work the conditioner gently into the leather and let it dry. Buff the seats with another clean cloth to maintain suppleness and prevent cracks.

Recommended Cleaning Products

For a basic dusting, use a colorless, slightly damp rag. For a deeper clean, opt for warm water with a mild soap solution or a dedicated leather cleaner. Refer to your owner’s manual for specific recommendations. Avoid using certain products that may damage your seats:

  • Sharp objects that might scratch
  • Household cleaners or detergents
  • Dark-colored cloths
  • Furniture polish

Additional Care Tips for Leather Seats

  • On-the-Go Cleaning: Keep a travel-sized leather cleaning solution and microfiber cloths in your vehicle for quick cleanups during your drives around Evergreen.
  • Temperature Consideration: Store your vehicle in a garage whenever possible to shield the leather from extreme temperatures, extending its lifespan.
  • Parking in Shade: Opt for shaded parking spots during errands in Brewton or Atmore to prevent sun damage and fading.
