How can I repair my leather car seat?
I let my brother drive my car over the weekend. When he brought it back, there was pizza grease all over the car seats. How can I repair my leather car seats?

Oh no, that sounds terrible! Grease is hard to remove from leather, but not impossible. Thankfully, the only tools you will need are a microfiber towel, cornstarch, and a vacuum cleaner.
Leather is porous and absorbent, which makes it challenging to clean. You want to soak up as much grease as possible. To clean the grease, do the following:
- Press gently on the leather with the microfiber cloth and soak up as much grease as you can. Don’t rub; use more of a blotting motion.
- Sprinkle cornstarch on top of the stain and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Vacuum up the corn starch, and the grease should be gone.
You can contact your
car insurance company
to see if they will cover the damage from the pizza if you have comprehensive coverage
. In most cases, food damage falls under wear and tear and won’t be covered, but it doesn’t hurt to ask! Now would be a good time to look at your insurance policy and make sure you are happy with your current limits and premium. If you aren’t, the
Jerry
app is an excellent place to start. A licensed broker, Jerry does all the hard work of finding cheap quotes from the top name-brand insurance companies and buying new car insurance.
