How do my leather car seats get dirty?

Leather in your car does not only become dirty because you spill something, because of crumbs or dirty clothes. As you use your car regularly, a layer of dirt forms on your leather car seats over time. The leather can also become dirty because you spill food or drink, with perspiration or because your children are doing all sorts on the back seat. It is not hygienic if you don't clean your car and it isn't good for the leather either. So, if you want to enjoy your leather car seats for a long period of time, car leather cleaning is the answer. 

The leather seats in your car are dirty, but also damaged? You need to clean the leather, but you also need to repair it or have it repaired.

  • Dab with a damp cloth, do not rub
    When something has been spilled on the leather seats in your car, it is important not to leave it too long. Take a damp cloth and dab the stain. It is important to dab and not to rub, because rubbing is likely to damage the leather. 

  • how to clean leather car seatsClean a leather car seat with vinegar and linseed oil
    Vinegar and linseed oil are a good combination. Put one part of vinegar and one part linseed oil in a jar and shake before use. Then clean the leather car seat with this mixture and a soft, clean cloth. Polish properly, so that you don't get oil on your clothes when you sit in the seat. 

  • Clean tough grease stains on car leather with soft household soap
    Anything made of leather, including your car interior, can be cleaned with soft household soap. As soft household soap is greasy, your leather becomes supple too. Put a scoop of soft soap in a bucket of warm water. Use a soft brush or sponge, dip it in the bucket and brush the leather clean. Don't make the leather too wet.

Are you dealing with tough stains? Put undiluted soft household soap on the leather and leave it to absorb. Then brush the leather clean with a soft brush or sponge. Now dry the leather with a dry, clean cloth.
