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 not 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, not only saving old t-shirts that would otherwise be thrown away, 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 outside temperature may be only 37 degrees, but inside the car, it can rise 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.
Leather upholstery care
 |
Leather care is very important to keep the leather surface soft, shiny and more elastic. After cleaning, leather seats need to be coated with a layer of natural oil. You should apply oil to the seats every 4-6 months. In dry weather areas, leather care needs to be done more often.
A car will not be beautiful if the interior is dirty or old. Therefore, take care of the car seats clean. Surely, your car will be more beautiful and always like new.
Steps to renew car leather seats First, you need to prepare a small vacuum cleaner, cleaning solution, sponge, dry cloth, water spray bottle, conditioner. You can also use lemon juice and tartaric acid... The steps are as follows: - Park in the shade, away from sunlight. - Vacuum every corner of the chair thoroughly to make sure all dirt in the crevices is removed. - Soak the cleaning solution into a dry sponge and wipe in a circular motion. For stubborn stains, use lemon juice mixed with tartaric acid to absorb. This should be done in a hidden, hard-to-see area first. - Dry with a clean cloth. - Repeat the above steps with the other chairs. - When all the seats are dry and clean, apply conditioner to a dry cotton cloth. The conditioner should be a sunscreen type, and the cleaning cloth should be a specialized type, available at auto parts stores. - Gently wipe the chair with conditioner. Allow the chair to dry for at least an hour before use. |
