Cleaning of seats is carried out taking into account features of their covering. If it is vinyl or leather, then the usual wet cleaning is carried out. As soon as the seats are well dried, a special compound is applied to them, which prevents drying and cracking of the skin surface. If the upholstery is made of fabric, then a steam vacuum cleaner or sprayer with detergent will be needed for treatment.
