Upholstery cleaning is removing dirt and stains from car seats, carpets and headliners.

What is Upholstery Cleaning?

Vacuum first, then use a suitable cleaner. Leather needs a different cleaner and conditioner than fabric. Wet extraction machines remove deep dirt. Stains are easier to remove when treated quickly. Pet hair comes off more easily with a rubber brush or glove than with a vacuum alone.

How it works

Cleaners loosen dirt, which is then extracted or wiped away.

Why it matters for your car

Do not soak seats with airbags or heating mats inside. Let the interior dry fully to avoid mould.
