To properly clean leather:

  1. Use a vacuum or soft dry cloth first to remove any dirt or dust.
  2. Clean the leather with a soft cloth dampened with a solution comprised of 90% water and 10% neutral soap.
  3. Wipe away any soap residue with a clean damp cloth.
  4. Wipe away residual water and allow leather to air dry in the shade.

Maintaining Genuine Leather

It is important to clean or wipe away dirt or dust as soon as possible. Spills can soak into leather resulting in stains. Dirt or dust can cause abrasions in the leather. In addition, please note that some dark colored clothing can rub onto the leather seats resulting in discoloration or stains.
