Car seats care

Getting into a new car is one of the best feelings you can have. The impeccable appearance and extraordinary cleanliness give us a special feeling of comfort. What if we could prolong this moment for longer?

Keeping your car clean helps preserve it and also the feeling of comfort you get when you get in and drive it. If we maintain a routine for the tasks required to clean the upholstery of our car seats, it's easier to maintain their quality.

Busy day-to-day life is often responsible for objects scattered around the car and some sloppy cleaning. The car's upholstery will fall victim to this and, depending on its material, may be permanently damaged more quickly or not at all.

Leather seats

These are seats that often indicate a more comfortable and luxurious lifestyle. However, they require special and specific care, such as moisturizing the leather.

The sun is a huge enemy of leather seats, as it causes them to dry out from UV rays. To prevent this, make sure you don't leave your car in the sun for long periods of time and, if unavoidable, use protection such as covers.

Moisturizing the seats should be done at least twice a year to ensure that the skin is clean, shiny and hydrated. To do this, you can entrust the task to qualified professionals or take matters into your own hands, as long as you use specific products.

Fabric seats

Cleaning these seats is also important, although it doesn't require as much attention as leather seats.

Monthly cleaning with a flannel dampened with neutral products is the best way to maintain the hygiene and upkeep of the seats. Vacuum the dust as well to remove all particles.

If you find stains, always look in the stores for specific products for this purpose. Cleaning products that don't serve this purpose can end up damaging your upholstery. You can also opt for steam cleaning.

To ensure more powerful and efficient sanitizing, choose to intersperse home cleaning with a professional wash. That way you'll also get a smell that's closer to what you get when your car is new.

General care

Regardless of the type of upholstery you have, it's important to make sure the upholstery is vacuumed every two weeks, or monthly at the most.

Even with all this care, the seats are still exposed to sunlight, particles and so on. To increase the protection and lifespan of your upholstery, you can choose to use seat covers. We all know a family member who has been using this technique for years and manages to have impeccable seats in a car that is more than 20 years old.

There are covers for all styles and budgets, just look online or in physical stores and choose the ones that suit you best.
