Now that you’ve invested in a nice and expensive leather seat car, it’s important to know how to properly clean it. If you don’t, and spill something on your seats or get dust, dirt, or other debris onto the leather surfaces, then it can cause damage over time. The best way to prevent this from happening is by cleaning leather surfaces properly.

Here are the steps to cleaning a leather car seat properly:

1. Remove Any Debris and Obstacles

If you have a family with kids and/or pets, you likely have installed booster seats or pet barriers in your car. These may cause problems with leather during cleaning as they can rub against the surface and cause damage. So it’s important to remove them before you begin cleaning. Then go ahead and pick debris and dust off of the seat using a soft-bristled brush or cloth.

2. Vacuum All Leather Surfaces

Once you’ve removed any debris that may be on your seat, it’s a good idea to vacuum all of the leather surfaces with a small vacuum brush attachment. This will remove more dust and dirt from your seat and keep it from rubbing against the leather in the future when you use vehicle accessories, boosting your car’s overall look. Make sure you use a vacuum cleaner to draw dirt from every nook and cranny of your seats.

3. Test Then Clean With Your Solution

Before using an entire bottle of solution on your leather seats, you’ll want to test a small area using it. This will help prevent unnecessary damage to your seats, as certain solutions may not be compatible with different types of leather. After you’re sure that your solution is safe to use, apply it to the rest of your seats as yo clean according to the instructions on the bottle.

4. Dry Seats With a Microfiber Towel

Leather seats can be tricky to dry, as the material tends to absorb a lot of water. You’ll want to dry your seats with a microfiber towel so that you don’t inadvertently cause stains or puddles on the leather surface.

5. Protect With Leather Conditioner

Finally, you should protect your leather seats by applying a small amount of leather conditioner. This will help to keep the seats looking and feeling like new for a long time to come. Wipe down the seats regularly to keep a noticeable buildup of grime or dirt from occurring. You can use a damp towel to clean your seat, or you can vacuum it regularly as well.
