It is important that any type of leather is kept clean, and dirt and grit are not allowed to accumulate. This can easily be accomplished using a vacuum or soft bristled brush to remove abrasive particles such as dirt and sand, and is best carried out with a soft brush attachment fitted to the vacuum to avoid scuffing of the leather. After vacuuming, fine dust can be removed by wiping the leather upholstery with a mildly dampened cloth – be careful that the cloth is not wet enough to leave behind water marks. However, these steps should be viewed as daily car-care, with regular conditioning with a reputable product as described in this guide, the preferred long term cleaning and leather care regime. Having paid a premium price for the opulence and comfort afforded by natural leather upholstery, it is well worth investing in the best leather cleaning and conditioning products to protect and maintain the car’s interior.
