Common knowledge about car leather seats: More than 80% of Chinese cars are now made of leather seats, because leather seats are beautiful, durable, easy to clean, functional similar to human skin, comfortable to touch, and have good breathability and smooth surface. In addition, leather seat cushions are not easy to burn and are not afraid of cigarette butts burning. They can also increase cooling efficiency and save air conditioning combustion consumption. In the eyes of Chinese people, leather seats are a symbol of nobility and luxury.
But many people know very little about how to maintain and clean the pile.
To understand how to maintain and clean genuine leather, it is necessary to have a profound understanding of leather. Cars are completely different from household leather clothes, shoes, and materials. Car leather is divided into two types in terms of raw materials: yellow cowhide and water buffalo leather. Among them, yellow cowhide is the main raw material, and yellow cowhide has advantages such as soft quality, good elasticity, and fine pores.
From the production process, it can be divided into top layer leather and second layer leather. The top layer leather has a good hand feel and softness, and is relatively durable. The second layer leather has a small width, a hard and inflexible texture, and a short service life, resulting in a significant price difference. Additionally, there are differences in origin, generally divided into five levels: Italian leather, German leather, South Korean leather, Thai leather, and domestic leather.
Due to the fact that genuine leather comes into contact with the human body every day, the most harmful thing to genuine leather is the body's oils and fats, as well as other damages from the outside world, which also pose a great threat to genuine leather seat cushions. If left untreated for a long time, it can cause the leather to become hard and dirty, ultimately resulting in cracking. Therefore, careful maintenance is crucial for leather seat cushions.
Nowadays, professional leather cleaning products generally use leather professional soft cleaning agents. This cleaning agent has the characteristics of soft cleaning, no solubility, no damage to the leather, and does not affect the original appearance or brightness of the leather. It has a good maintenance effect on the environment and leather.
It is recommended to add a layer of protective wax to the new car and newly modified leather chair after 15 days, which is very convenient for car owners to use regular cleaning agents to remove dirt. In general, a new car can receive care after a month, and then it can be done once a month to keep the leather shiny and new all year round.
Simple maintenance methods for leather
1. Car leather seats should be kept as close as possible to the heat source by two feet, as being too close to the heat source can cause the leather to dry and crack
2. Do not expose the leather to direct sunlight for a long time to avoid fading
3. Regularly implement cleaning and maintenance, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and ash every week
4. During cleaning, do not use a hair dryer to quickly dry the leather. Instead, achieve natural air drying.
