Although leather seats are hot in summer and cold in winter, and are more complicated to care for than fabric seats, many friends still regard leather seats as an important configuration when choosing a car. But as we just mentioned, in the face of daily use, bursts of sunlight, and dust hidden in the gaps, the maintenance and cleaning of leather seats has become a big problem. Let’s talk about the maintenance and cleaning of leather seats.
Many friends think that leather seats need to be treated like car paint, and the leather surface needs to be maintained regularly with care products such as car wax. However, in fact, the treated cowhide surface is acid-resistant. Alkali, anti-UV, wear-resistant, soft, tough, anti-wrinkle, not easy to ignite and other advantages. Therefore, under normal circumstances, we do not need to perform special maintenance on the cortical surface. However, friends need to pay attention to the fact that because the seat is often in contact with our skin, it will be stained with a lot of grease after long-term use. In order to keep the leather shiny, it must be cleaned regularly. It is best to use a semi-dry wet towel to wipe the seat. The surface of the chair can be dried with natural wind.
When the surface of the leather seat is covered with stains, we can use a detergent specifically designed to clean leather stains. However, we need to remind everyone that you should not use laundry detergent to clean the dirt on the surface of the leather seat. Powder or dish soap, because it contains alkaline ingredients, the surface of the leather seat may lose its luster after long-term use.
In addition to proper maintenance, we should also pay special attention to the following points when using leather seats on a daily basis:
First of all, many friends will ignore the dust hidden in the gaps of the seats. , thinking that it will only affect the appearance or cleanliness, but what is not known is that when dust accumulates to a certain extent, they may affect the breathability of leather. It is best to frequently use a dry towel to "dust" the leather surface. It would be better to use a vacuum cleaner if possible.
Secondly, we should pay attention to the sharp objects on the seat during use, especially the hairpins often used by girls. If we are not careful, the sharp objects will pierce the leather, and it will be very troublesome to repair it. .
Finally, after some friends use a wet towel to wipe the surface of the leather seat, they will use a hair dryer to dry the water stains on the surface. However, this method will damage the leather and even cause it to dry out. The best way is to open the car window and let the natural wind dry it.
One more thing, leather seats are most afraid of exposure to strong light. Long-term exposure may cause the leather surface to fade. Therefore, it is best to choose a cool place or underground parking when parking in summer. Inventory storage and purchasing sun visors to block the sun can also effectively prevent leather from fading due to refraction by strong light.
Whether leather seats are good or not can only be known after using them, but as one of the "standard configurations" of today's cars, leather seats are no longer exclusive to luxury cars. Maintenance has also become the focus of everyone's attention, but as we said in the article, paying attention to daily use, wiping the seat regularly, and avoiding exposure to the sun can keep the seat in the best possible condition.
