It is my opinion that leather interiors not only make your car's interior more welcoming and, in some ways, luxurious, but they also provide the best hygiene for the cabin since they do not absorb dust and dirt. However, it is equally true that they require care to preserve them over time, which is quite easy.

There are countless kits available for cleaning and caring for leather interiors, but you can also use what you typically have at home. Start by removing any debris from the seats with compressed air or a vacuum cleaner, ensuring to clean the folds of the seams.

Next, wash the leather with regular mild soap using a soft bristle brush, removing excess soap with a microfiber cloth. At the end of the cleaning, treat the leather with neutral cream: the result will be exceptional, and the seats will look like new.

At this point, press and hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to make the warning light disappear.
