Question · Leather Care
How do you clean leather seats?
Vacuum and dry-brush first. Then a leather-specific cleaner with a soft brush, working one panel at a time. Wipe with microfiber. Condition only after the seat is fully dry, never before.

WHEN THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT CALL
When to pick something else.
Do not use all-purpose cleaner. Do not use baby wipes. Do not use household leather couch products. Automotive leather is usually a coated semi-aniline that needs different chemistry than upholstery.
FAQS
Common follow-up questions.
How often should I clean leather seats?
Every 3 months for routine maintenance. Every 4-6 weeks if you have a lot of skin contact (light leather, sweat, sunscreen).
Should I condition leather every time I clean it?
Twice a year is plenty. More than that and conditioner builds up and gets sticky.
My seats are squeaky — what is that?
Two things: dry leather plus rubbing on something. A condition pass usually fixes it. If not, the seat foam under the leather is breaking down and the leather is rubbing on padding.
