Notes
If it is a fabric seat, it is best to use a foam cleaner and pay attention to the amount to avoid damaging the leather seat. In addition, if there are stubborn stains, you can apply a polish on the seat to enhance the surface anti-fouling. At the same time, tips for keeping the seat clean include frequent cleaning and less snacking in the car. Please note that if there are holes, the cleaner cannot be sprayed directly on the seat. The cleaner should be sprayed on the brush, then the leather should be scrubbed with the brush, and finally the seat surface should be wiped dry with a microfiber cloth. If it is a leather seat, you need to pay attention to the color fastness test and do not use the cleaner on the suede. Of course, if it is just floating dust, you can just pat it away with your hands, or you can use a professional car vacuum cleaner to handle the dust and debris.
