Kia Detail Services – Cleaning Leather Upholstery 

1. Before you start cleaning your upholstery, you should thoroughly vacuum the crevices of your seats. This will help to remove unwanted dirt and debris that has accumulated over time. 
2. After the seats have been vacuumed, apply a pH-neutral cleaning solution to your upholstery. Take extra care if you have perforated leather seats. You do not want to get any of the cleaning product into the perforations. 
3. Carefully clean the leather with a microfiber cloth and soft-bristled brush. 
4. Once this is complete, we recommend applying an approved leather conditioner to your seats. It helps to prevent cracking, and it will keep the leather supple. Use a clean microfiber cloth to apply the leather conditioner and let it dry. Buff the leather conditioner in with another clean microfiber cloth.

Kia Car Cleaning – Products to Avoid 

Kia detail tasks should be performed with caution to prevent damage to your vehicle. There are a few products that should never be used when performing leather seat care: 

• Sharp objects that may scratch
• Household cleaner
• Dark cloths
• Detergents
• Furniture polish

More Kia Detail Tips 

1. If you have the ability to park your vehicle in a garage, you should do so. Extreme temperatures can be damaging to your leather seats. 
2. As you run errands in Ontario, try parking in the shade as much as possible. It will reduce the risk of sun bleaching. 
3. When you are out and about in Chino or Covina, it can be beneficial to have a travel bottle of leather cleaning solution and clean microfiber cloths on hand. If unexpected spills happen while you’re out, you can take care of them right away to minimize damage.
