How To Clean Car Leather For Best Results

Clean car leather will definitely outperform that which is not regularly maintained.

The upholstery in cars is subject to some very harsh conditions. Being used most days, dirt, sweat and soiling will accumulate on the surface. Add that to the blazing sun beating in the windows and you have the perfect environment to quickly ruin and destroy your upholstery!

If you want to prevent this from happening, caring for leather upholstery on a regular basis is well worth considering.

Here are 4 important tips to help you get good results:

TIP 1:- Keep Leather Out Of Direct Sunlight When Cleaning

Here's why ...

• The cleaner will evaporate BEFORE it gets to do its job
• Wet leather can SHRINK when exposed to direct heat and completely ruin it

TIP 2:- Remove Loose Dirt With A Vacuum Cleaner

Before using any leather cleaners, give the upholstery and thorough vacuum to remove any loose dirt etc.

TIP 3:- Leather Cleaning Steps

• Spray the cleaner evenly over a seat panel
• Using a leather cleaning brush, first, dip it into water and then lightly scrub the leather to form a lather.
• Wipe of the residue with a clean towel and leave to dry
• Apply a good quality conditioner and protector for added protection.

Tip 4:- Don't Use A Leather Cleaner Which Has NOT Been Tested And Approved!

Search the web and you'll come across no shortage of ideas for leather cleaners. I've even come across suggestions such as:

• Detergent
• Dish washing liquid
• Floor cleaner

The other day I even found a recommendation for using hairspray and toothpaste! What on earth were they thinking!

All of these will seriously damage your leather as LASRA (Leather Testing Authority), has shown. So, if you want to avoid ruining your leather, then only use leather care products which have been tested and approved.
