Car Seat and Upholstery
Car Seat and Upholstery cleaning
Whether you have leather or cloth seats, the first step is to vacuum your car seats with the upholstery or brush tool. After that, use the crevice tool to reach crumbs and dust stuck between the seats and in the nooks and crannies. A cordless handheld vacuum outfitted with these types of attachments is the most convenient vacuum for this task. That way, you don’t need to drag out an extension cord. Plus, you’ll have increased maneuverability in such a tight space.
Once you’ve sucked up any crumbs, dirt and other debris, follow the appropriate targeted cleaning method, based on whether the seats in your car are leather, vinyl or cloth.

How to clean leather car seats
- One small area at a time, work a leather cleaner, like GH Seal Star Furniture Clinic Leather Cleaner, or a mild soap into the leather with a soft, damp cloth.
- Rinse with another damp cloth until all soap or cleaner is removed.
- Buff with a dry cloth. Go over arms and headrests multiple times if necessary.
- Apply a protectant, like GH Seal Star Furniture Clinic Leather Protection Cream, to condition the leather, making it easier to remove future stains. (Both products are included in Furniture Clinic's Leather Care Kit.)

How to clean upholstery car seats
Clean car seats can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of your car. To clean vinyl upholstery car seats, mix equal parts of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle then spray the solution to a small and non-visible area to test that the solution does not discolor the vinyl. Using a soft-bristled scrub brush or sponge, scrub the seats with the solution then wipe the seats down with a damp cloth to remove the dirt. Allow the seats to air-dry before sitting in them again.
