Leather Seat Care Instructions

Buy These Supplies:

1. Purchase some leather cleaner, some mild leather soap, or saddle soap, or you can make your own cleaner with one-part white vinegar and two parts linseed oil solution.
2. Soft-bristled scrub brush
3. Several clean microfiber towels

Step by Step Instructions for how to clean car seats:

1. First, review your owner’s manual for model-specific instructions about your vehicle.
2. Vacuum your seats to remove all the dirt that can scratch the leather while cleaning it. Use small vacuum attachments or compressed air to clean out the tiny crevices.
3. Spray your leather cleaning solution onto the microfiber towel and gently wipe your seats to remove surface dirt and oil.
4. Next, spray the leather cleaning product onto your seats and gently scrub the surface with your soft-bristled scrub brush.
5. If your car has perforated leather seats, spray your leather cleaner onto the scrub brush instead of smearing it onto the seats and plugging the tiny holes.
6. Wipe your seats thoroughly dry with your clean microfiber towels.

How to Clean Fabric Car Seats

You will need these Supplies:

1. Cleaning solution spray made for fabric car seats
2. Clean microfiber towels
3. Scrub brush with soft or medium-stiff bristles

Step by Step Instructions:

1. Vacuum the car seats to remove all the dust and dirt.
2. If you have a pet, you may need a lint brush to remove the pet hair.
3. Keep the doors and windows of your car open while cleaning to improve ventilation.
4. Spray the cleaning solution onto the desired area, being careful not to over-saturate the fabric.
5. Use your scrub brush to scrub the cleaning solution into the seat fabric.
6. As suds appear, wipe them away using your microfiber towel. If you don’t, the dirt will be pulled back into the fibers if the fabric dries.
7. Continue steps 4-6 until your fabric car seat looks clean. Then, move on to the next section of your car.
8. Vacuum the seats again after cleaning them to speed up the drying process. Let the seats dry entirely before closing your car doors and windows and driving around Canton.
