Instructions on How to Clean Leather Car Seats

To offer the best leather car seat care, you'll need to know how to clean your leather car seats. The process is simple. Just follow our instructions below:

1. Use a vacuum to clean any dirt and debris off your seats.
2. After dirt and debris have been removed, use a pH-neutral cleaning solution to clean your leather upholstery. Take care if you have perforated leather seats in order to avoid getting the solution into any holes.
3. Gently clean the leather using a microfiber cloth and soft-bristled brush.
4. Next, you'll want to apply an approved leather conditioner to your seats, taking care to work in using a clean microfiber cloth gently. Once the conditioner has dried, buff it in with another clean microfiber cloth. The use of a leather conditioner will help prevent cracking. 

What Should You Use to Clean Your Seats?

A simple colorless, damp rag is perfect for light cleaning, like removing dust. To get out more stubborn dirt and grime, you'll want to add water with a bit of soap or an approved leather cleaner. For a list of cleaners that your vehicle manufacturer recommends, check your owner's manual or speak with the service center at Fletcher Jones Audi. While you may have options for cleaners, there are specific things you want to avoid using when it's time to clean your car seats. These include: 

• Detergents
• Household cleaner
• Furniture polish
• Dark cloths
• Sharp objects that may scratch
