! Luckily, it’s pretty easy to clean leather seat when you follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Vacuum the seats to stop particles of dust or other crumbs from scratching the seats when you wash them.
  • Step 2: Give your car a cursory wash with a leather cleaner and a microfiber cloth. This step is just to clean off a base layer of dirt.
  • Step 3: Scrub your seats with more leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush.
  • Step 4: Dry the leather with a clean microfiber cloth.
Remember, the key to
car maintenance
is consistency. Make sure to lightly clean your seats every few weeks and give them a deep clean at least three times a year. Dirt build-ups on your seats could dry out the leather and even cause cracks.
