Tips & Tricks on How to Clean Leather Car Seats

Keeping the leather seats on your new Toyota GR 86 Coupe looking brand new in Oklahoma City with the proper leather seat care:

1. Thoroughly vacuum the crevices of your seats to remove any dust, dirt, or debris.
2. Once the debris has been removed, apply a pH-neutral cleaning solution to your upholstery making sure to avoid getting any liquid cleaner into any perforations.
3. Use a microfiber cloth and soft-bristled brush to gently clean the leather upholstery.
4. After your seats are clean, apply an approved leather conditioner to your seats, and gently work in using a clean microfiber cloth. Let the conditioner dry and then buff in with another clean microfiber cloth. Using a leather conditioner will help keep your seats supple and avoid cracking.

Proper Cleaning Products

When you are cleaning your Toyota leather seats, be sure to use a colorless, simple damp rag to lightly dust your car seats in Edmond. A more thorough wash can be done with warm water with a bit of soap or a specially made leather cleaner to wipe down the seats. Your Toyota owner’s manual will have recommendations. Whatever you decide upon, be sure to avoid cleaning supplies like:

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