How to Clean Leather car Seats

WARNING TO DETAILERS AND VALETERS

Steam Cleaning Leather !!!!!!

We have been asked a few times about this and if its safe, we have always said we have never done it so I can’t say for sure,

So decided to carry out some tests to give you some feedback on the pros and cons.

But we have been doing some very extensive testing on leather and its a killer.

We have carried out tests on many different types and styles.

Car interiors should not be cleaned in this way at all Detailers & Valeters Leather

Couches should not be cleaned in this way for all your Cleaners

Period NO LEATHER SHOULD BE CLEANED THIS WAY THE DAMAGE IT CAUSES IS AMAZING.

Some Of The Results We Found Were As Follows

1/ It added too much moisture into the leather causing it to swell

2/ When dried out it went hard

3/ Caused damage to the painted surface, breaking down the surface top coat colour

4/ Caused mold and bacteria to grow within the leather as its traps moisture

5/ Bacteria grows and causes a bad odour and smell.

6/ De lamination of the clear coat from the painted finish

You will find using a professional cleaner like our Premium Leather Cleaner and our Premium Foam Cleaner well be far more beneficial than anything else on the market. Its imperative you use the correct [products on leather, steam cleaning is not the way forward at all.

We found after doing a great deal of testing that it even took off the coloured surface on some car interiors leather and some couches got so badly damaged you would not believe your eyes.
