How to Clean Leather Car Seats

There’s something about the look and feel of leather seats that add a premium, upscale quality to your car’s interior. If you have leather upholstery in your Honda you should know that cleaning leather seats vs. cloth seats is a more involved process. Let the experts at Patty Peck Honda walk you through how to clean leather car seats, so your Honda will always look sharp on your Brandon area commute.

How Do You Keep Leather Seats in Good Condition?

• Vacuum Your Seats: Start by vacuuming the seats, paying special attention to the seams and crevices to remove any dust, dirt, or debris.
• Clean Your Seats: It’s best to use a pH-neutral cleaning solution with a microfiber cloth and soft-bristled brush to gently clean the leather upholstery. Make sure that none of the liquid cleaning solution gets into perforated seats.
• Condition Your Seats: With a clean microfiber cloth, gently rub a leather conditioner into the seats.
• Protect the Leather: Prolonged exposure to sunlight in the Jackson area can damage leather upholstery. We recommend that whenever possible you keep your vehicle parked under a tree or in a garage out of direct sunlight.

What Cleaning Products Should Be Used?

You should use a damp, colorless rag to periodically dust off your leather car seats. To clean them more thoroughly, use warm water and a small amount of soap or leather cleaner. Your owner’s manual will have leather upholstery care recommendations, or you can contact our Honda parts center and ask for the best conditioners for leather seats.

Some things you should avoid when cleaning your leather seats include:

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