Protecting leather car upholstery

Leather is tough, and it may take a long time before it starts to show any signs of wear and tear. However, once your leather starts to crack and fade, it can be hard to bring it back to life. That’s why you need to take care of your leather car upholstery from the start so that your interior will keep looking as pretty as the exterior of your car. The best defense is a good offense, so prevention is the key to keeping your leather in perfect condition.

Washing leather car upholstery with water

There’s a misconception that water is bad for your leather upholstery. Sure, you don’t want to soak it in water and then go about your day. No material, whether it’s leather or fabric or vinyl will appreciate the prolonged exposure to water. Organic materials will start to become discolored and moldy, and vinyl materials will start to warp. However, using a soft damp cloth to wipe down your leather car upholstery is the best way to prevent it from cracking, tearing, and fading.

Drying leather

If you’ve used a more generous amount of water to wipe off stains or dirt from the leather, make sure to use a dry cloth to completely dry your seats. If you leave your seats to air-dry, you may see an unsightly residue left on your seats from the additives in the water.
