Experience in keeping car seats like new
(Baonghean.vn) - Like all other appliances and equipment, cars also need to be cleaned and refurbished after a long time of use, especially the seat position. Initially, it is just a small stain, but over time these stains will become "stubborn", making them difficult to remove, significantly affecting the beauty of the car.
Let's refer to some car seat care experiences below to keep the seats soft, shiny and increase the value of the car.
Limit exposure to sunlight

It is always a good idea to keep your car out of direct sunlight, especially when you are not driving. Sunlight and its heat can have a significant impact on the interior of your car.
Especially leather car seats, if they are often exposed to the sun at high temperatures, will quickly lose color, peel and become damaged.
Use air conditioning to protect upholstery

Use the air conditioner when necessary because you can't always open the car windows. Leather upholstery will not be repeated often if you know how to care for and maintain leather seats.
Using air conditioning to cool the interior space of the car is a way to maintain the aesthetics and luxury of leather car seats.
Use an old t-shirt to wipe
You can use old t-shirts to clean leather seats, saving you the hassle of throwing away old t-shirts, but more importantly, old t-shirts are much better than towels and paper towels.
Old t-shirts are soft and easy to clean, while paper towels and cotton can scratch leather seats.
Open the car window

Be careful when opening the car door in the summer. The temperature inside the car can increase a lot in the summer. For example, the temperature outside may be only 37 degrees, but inside the car, it can increase to at least 43 degrees. High temperatures inside the car will lead to fading of leather seats.
Opening the car windows will reduce the temperature inside.
Note when cleaning

You should not clean leather seats with regular detergents because they often have a pH level too high for leather. The lye in detergents with high alkaline concentrations is very effective in cleaning stains but is not good for leather. They can cause graying, discoloration, stains and cracking of the leather surface.
The solution to this problem is a non-alkaline cleaner. When you take your car to the wash, ask the shop to clean the leather seats with a cleaner that comes in a separate package - car washes often use the same cleaner for the tires, engine and leather seats.
