How To Clean Car Seats & Items You’ll Need
It’s important to know how to clean car seats properly so you don’t damage the interior material of your vehicle’s seats. Having clean and properly maintained seats will ensure you can maintain the value of your vehicle if you ever decide to trade it in.
Fortunately, it’s not difficult to clean cloth or leather seats, but we recommend you reference your owner’s manual for recommendations on the type of seat cleaner you should be using. With that out of the way, take a look at how to clean leather car seats and cloth car seats below:
