How to Clean Leather Car Seats Tips & Tricks

These tricks are here to help you keep your leather seats in pristine condition for your commute through Thousand Oaks:

1. Begin by vacuuming the crevices of the seats to remove any buildup of dust, dirt, and debris.
2. After you remove the debris from all the crevices, you will want to apply a pH-neutral cleaning solution to the leather. Avoid getting any of the cleaner into perforations.
3. Using a microfiber cloth and soft-bristled brush, very gently clean the leather upholstery. 
4. After cleaning the seats, put an approved leather conditioner on them and let them dry. After, use a clean microfiber cloth, to buff in the conditioner. The leather conditioner helps avoid cracking in the leather and keeps it supple and soft. 

What Cleaning Products Should You and Should You Not Use

When you are performing a routine cleaning on the seats of your vehicle, an important leather seat care tip is to dust with a damp rag. If you want to perform a more thorough cleaning, use warm water and a little bit of soap or a cleaner made specifically for leather seats and wipe them down gently. Your owner’s manual may have specific recommendations for your vehicle, but here are a few things you should specifically avoid when cleaning leather:

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

More Leather Seat Care Tips

1. If you are on the go in San Fernando Valley keep a travel-size bottle of leather cleaning solution and microfiber cloths accessible in your vehicle. In your free time, you can keep your seats dust and debris free and clean up spills in a second. 
2. If you can and have access to a garage, store your vehicle there. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to your leather seats.
3. When you are out and about in Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks try to park in shaded parking spots. This can prevent bleaching or damage to the leather.
