How do I clean leather car interior?
My car is about ten years old. Its tan leather is pretty nasty. Can you tell me how to clean leather car interior so it looks new again?

It’s easy to forget to clean your leather seats, especially when they’re a darker color! Luckily, the process of cleaning and protecting leather seats is easy.
First, you’ll need a vacuum to pick up any larger debris or crumbs that may be on your seats or in the crevices. This will help you avoid scratching the leather when you clean it later.
Next, apply a pH-balanced cleanser to your leather seats. If you have perforations in the leather, make sure it doesn’t soak through to the seat cushion underneath.
Then, with a microfiber cloth and soft brush, begin to rub and scrub on that leather. Make sure to be gentle but firm!
Once you’ve removed most of the stains, it’s time to condition the leather. Use a good quality leather conditioner and work it into the material using a microfiber cloth. Make sure to remove any extra product after you’ve given the conditioner some time to absorb into the seat.
After you finish cleaning your seats, think about other ways you can care for your car, like downloading the
