How to clean leather seats

As leather seats age, they can start to crack or lose their color due to heat and UV exposure. As a way to keep them looking and feeling good, you should do a deep clean once in a while. To start, vacuum up any loose dirt or debris. Then you should apply the leather cleaner to your seats and use a soft bristle brush. Always double-check to make sure the cleaner is specifically for leather surfaces because they will use leather-friendly ingredients. Once you have cleaned, wipe the leather dry with a dry microfiber towel. Â
Once the seats are dried, add a conditioner to your leather surfaces as well. This will help protect your seats from any UV rays or heat. Leave the conditioner on for a few hours to help absorb and then dry them off with another clean, dry microfiber towel. A good rule of thumb is to stick to a routine of cleaning and caring for your leather seats every three to six months to ensure they will last a long time.
