Tips on How to Clean Leather Car Seats
For the best leather seat care tips, trust Medlin Mazda. Use our guide and keep your leather car seats looking like new again. Simply follow these steps:
- To start, you’ll want to vacuum the crevices of your seats to remove any dust, dirt, or debris.
- Once the debris has been removed, apply a pH-neutral cleaning solution to your upholstery making sure you’re not getting the excess liquid cleaner into any perforations.
- Use a microfiber cloth and soft-bristled brush to gently clean the leather upholstery.
- After your seats are clean, apply an approved leather conditioner to your seats, and gently work in using a clean microfiber cloth. Let conditioner dry and then buff in with another clean microfiber cloth. Using a leather conditioner will help keep your seats supple and avoid cracking.
What Cleaning Products Should Be Used?

If you’re looking for a deeper clean, you can use warm water and either a bit of soap or a specially made leather cleaner to wipe down the seats. Your owner’s manual will have a few recommendations as to which you should use.
