Cleaning leather seats
For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For more
thorough cleaning, wipe the surface with a leather and vinyl cleaner or a
mild soap.
The type of scrubbing pad is very critical because the common 3M
“Scotch Brite” green pad is too aggressive and will damage the
leather surface.
• Spray a small amount of the leather cleaner on the pad and rub the
area to be cleaned with the pad using a circular motion. Only clean 1/4
of the area at a time. For heavily soiled areas, spray the cleaner
directly onto the leather (two squirts should be adequate) and rub
with the pad. Repeat if necessary.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to remove the loosened dirt and foam.
• Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use household cleaners, glass cleaner, alcohol solutions or
cleaner intended for vinyl, rubber or plastics. These products can
damage the leather.
In some instances, color or dye transfer can occur when wet
clothing (wool, denim, leathers or other non-colorfast garments)
comes in contact with leather upholstery. If this occurs, the
leather should be cleaned immediately to avoid permanent
staining.
