Leather Seat Care Tips
If you're ready to learn how to clean leather seats in cars, start with the following recommendations from Audi Fremont:
2. After ensuring you've removed all the dirt and debris, use a pH-neutral cleaning solution on the leather car seats. If you have perforated leather seats, take care to avoid getting any of the solution in the holes.
3. Gently clean your leather seats by using a microfiber cloth or soft-bristled brush.
4. Once seats are clean, use a clean microfiber cloth to apply an approved leather conditioner to your seats and gently work in.
5. Give the conditioner time to dry.
6. Buff in with another clean microfiber cloth.
7. Did you know? Leather conditioner helps keep seats supple and avoid the cracking that can come with age.

Appropriate Leather Cleaning Products
It's important to choose leather cleaning products that are right for your Audi. To remove dust, you can keep it simple by using a colorless damp rag. You can perform a deeper clean with water and a bit of soap or a specified leather car seat cleaner. Your owner's manual should contain recommendations, but you can also ask the Team at the Audi Fremont Service Center near Hayward if you'd like to purchase a leather car seat cleaner that you can be certain will do the trick. Learning how to clean dirty leather car seats depends almost entirely on using the right supplies. Whatever your cleaner of choice may be, there are a few things you'll want to avoid using on your leather seats:
- Dark cloths
- Sharp objects that may scratch
- Household cleaner
- Detergents
- Furniture polish
Additional Leather Care Tips
1. To help take care of spills and debris on the go in Union City, we suggest carrying a small spray bottle of leather car seat cleaner and a clean microfiber cloth in your vehicle.2. If you have access to a garage when running errands in Newark, we suggest parking there as temperature extremes can impact the quality of your leather seats over time.
3. If a garage is not available, try to find a shaded parking spot as the sun can fade and damage leather over time.
How Often Should You Clean and Condition Your Leather Seats?
You now know how to clean leather car seats, but the question is how often should you do it? A good rule to follow is once every three months. Of course, this can range quite a bit based on how often you drive your Audi in San Jose and beyond.
If your Audi vehicle is properly stored in a garage for long periods of time, you most likely do not need to condition the leather very often. If you're a daily driver in Fremont that frequently parks in the sun, routine leather conditioning should be added to your to-do list. Contact the Audi Fremont Team to discuss an appropriate car care schedule for your Bay Area lifestyle.
