Apart from having a cool-looking exterior design, the other most important thing that adds to the beauty of your newly purchased car is the leather seats. They elevate your car’s interior look and add comfort to the members using the car. Leather seats are no doubt more durable and look luxurious than standard cloth seats. They also smell very significant and can also push up the resale price of your car to some extent.
The only catch to having leather car seats is that they demand more care and maintenance than any other form of car seat materials. Most people know how to keep the exterior of a car clean, but what most of them lack is to keep the interiors clean and fresh. We have tried to list out the three most essential do’s and don’ts that you can follow while cleaning your leather car seats. Without further ado, let’s dive into the discussion.
Regular Vacuuming
The powerful vacuum cleaner available at your local car wash shop serves as a handy tool to keep the interior of your car in top notch condition. Vacuuming your car’s interior will remove the dust that is present on the surface, along with all that gravel and dirt that gets stuck in between the spaces between seats and other interior components like cup holders and gear sticks. Nowadays, car washes offer free vacuum services if you purchase the whole package of leather seats cleaning services.
Don’t select any random cleaning products
Most of the time, people mistake purchasing random cleaning products from stores without adequately knowing their function and usage. They end up staining the precious leather surfaces if not damaging them permanently. Even if some old cleaner is lying around the garage, don’t get tempted to clean your dashboard or the leather seats in your vehicle with it. It is advisable to know, learn about the different cleaners before experimenting with them. If you can’t find any relevant information about any cleanser you have purchased, consult with some experienced car cleaning professionals to help you out.
Do check for damages on the leather surfaces.
Always keep your eyes open while cleaning your leather car seats. After the vacuuming of your car seats is done, spend a reasonable amount of time looking out for cracks, opens, tears on the surface of the leather before you start cleaning them with cleaners. That is an essential step as liquid cleaners can seep into the inside of your car seats through cracks causing the leather to damage further. Moreover, it would be best to use microfiber cloths while wiping down the leather surfaces, as it won’t scratch your leather.
