Default How can I clean the leather seats?



I bought the car with this stain in the back seat. Don't know what type of stain it is. I tried leather cleaner no luck. Any tips? Do you guys think this is even removable lol.

Tried steam cleaner? If not you can replace the seat cover.

Get a Mytee carpet extractor or go to a detailing shop that has one, and use Folex as the cleaning agent (it's an enzymatic cleaner, non-toxic, safe for practically all materials, safe for pets, etc). If Folex isn't strong enough, then try progressively stronger cleaners until you find something that works without destroying the leather.

I don't think steam and hot water are good for leather, and steam by itself doesn't help draw the stain away from the leather. A spray/liquid leather surface cleaner will not help here either. Whatever that stain is, needs to be dissolved into solution, and then the solution needs to be removed.
