Over the last several years, leather upholstery has become a mainstream choice in automobiles, and a preferred element in households and many offices. There’s nothing like the feel of fine leather against your body, but it takes a little effort to maintain that luxurious touch. Let’s start with the most obvious.

Due to the adverse conditions leather upholstered automobile seats exist in-exposure to UV rays, fluctuating temperatures, food and drink spills, perspiration and other bodily excretions-special care should be taken to maintain an automobile’s leather interior. Without proper treatment, the leather-covered seats will lose their suppleness, luster, and durability. In time, the leather upholstery will become hard and brittle, eventually cracking and tearing, a feature affecting the resale value of the automobile.

Like any leather-made product, leather upholstery needs to be cleaned periodically to lift embedded dirt, allowing the leather to breathe-personally, I like the pH balanced cleaners-but leather seats should be reconditioned more often, than say a leather jacket, due “to the migration of lubricants” caused by the UV rays and erratic temperatures.
