Materials Needed:
- Mild liquid dishwashing soap
- Warm water
- Two clean microfiber cloths
- A vacuum cleaner (with soft-brush attachment if available)
Instructions:
1. Vacuum Preparation:
- Vacuum the leather seats to remove any dirt or debris. This helps prevent scratching the leather during cleaning.
2. Cleaning Solution:
- Mix a small amount of mild liquid dishwashing soap (non-abrasive) into a bowl of warm water.
3. Test the Solution:
- Before applying the cleaning solution to the entire seat, test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the leather. This ensures it doesn't cause discoloration.
4. Apply the Solution:
- Dip one of the microfiber cloths into the cleaning solution. Wring it out so it's slightly damp.
- Gently wipe down the leather seats, moving in a circular motion.
- Avoid saturating the leather with water.
5. Rinse and Dry:
- Dampen the other microfiber cloth with clean, warm water and wring it out thoroughly.
- Use this damp cloth to wipe off the cleaning solution and any remaining dirt or suds from the seats.
- Allow the leather to air dry completely before sitting on it.
Additional Tips:
- For tougher stains, use a leather cleaning product specifically designed for automotive use.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
- Protect your leather seats from sun damage by applying a leather conditioner regularly (especially in hot climates).
- In case of stubborn stains or extensive damage, consult a professional automotive leather cleaning service.
