What to Clean Leather Car Seats With

A Step-by-Step Guide

Keeping your leather car seats clean is essential for maintaining their appearance, durability, and comfort. Proper care not only enhances your car's interior but also helps retain its value. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the best practices for cleaning leather car seats, ensuring they look pristine and last longer.


Why Clean Leather Car Seats Regularly?

Leather is a natural, luxurious material that requires specialised care to prevent wear and tear. Dust, dirt, and grime can accumulate over time, leading to discolouration, cracks, or even permanent damage. Regular cleaning and conditioning help:

  • Extend the lifespan of your leather seats by preventing premature ageing.
  • Enhance comfort by keeping the surface smooth and supple.
  • Maintain the resale value of your car by preserving the interior’s premium look.

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Leather Car Seats

Follow these easy steps for cleaning and protecting your leather car seats using top-notch products like LRC1, LRC4, and LRC41.

1. Identify the Leather Type and Inspect for Damage

Before you start, identify the type of leather (e.g., aniline, pigmented, nappa, or semi-aniline). Check for any signs of damage, such as cracks, cuts, or heavy stains. Treating leather appropriately based on its condition will prevent further harm.

2. Gather Your Cleaning Tools

You’ll need the following:

 

3. Clean the Leather Seats

  • First Vacuum off your seats to remove dirt and debris.
  • Spray LRC1 Leather Cleaner directly onto the soft bristle brush.
  • Gently agitate in circular motions. Avoid harsh scrubbing – let the cleaner and brush do the work.
  • Focus on seams and crevices where dirt accumulates.
  • Wipe away the loosened dirt and grime with a clean natural bamboo cloth.

4. Protect Your Leather Seats

Once cleaned, it’s time to protect your leather seats.

  • Apply LRC41 Leather Guard for a strong, intelligent barrier against dirt, oils, and stains.
  • Follow with LRC4 Leather Protection Cream to nourish the leather and prevent cracking. These products work together to stop dye transfer and even pen marks from damaging the leather.

5. Maintain with Bamboo Fibre Cloths

After cleaning and protecting your leather seats, maintenance becomes a breeze. Use a bamboo fibre cloth for regular light cleaning, ensuring your leather stays spotless and fresh without reapplying the cleaner frequently.
