Cleaning the Interior

~1min read

Use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and treat stains immediately. It is important to vacuum before using a cleaning agent.

  • Some colored clothing (for example, dark jeans and suede garments) may stain the upholstery. If this occurs, it is important to clean and treat these parts of the upholstery as soon as possible.
  • Never use strong solvents such as washer fluid, gasoline, mineral spirit or concentrated alcohol to clean the interior as this can damage the upholstery as well as other interior materials.
  • Never spray cleaning agent directly onto components that have electrical buttons and controls. Instead, wipe them with a damp cloth with cleaning agent.
  • Sharp objects and hook-and-loop fasteners can damage the textile upholstery.
  • Only use cleaning agents on the material type they are intended for.
