Care and maintenance
vacuum cleaner. This will remove surface dirt
whic
h c
ou
ld otherwise be rubbed into the
textile material during use. Do not use steam
cleaners, as the steam could carry the dirt
deeper into the textile material.
Normal cleaning
We recommend that you use a soft sponge or
a commercially available lint-free, micro-fibre
cloth for normal cleaning. Only use brushes
on floor coverings and mats, as other textile
surfaces could become damaged.
In the case of normal surface dirt you can use
a foam cleaner. Use a sponge to spread the
foam on the textile surface and to work it into
the material lightly. However, make sure that
the textile material does not become soaking
wet. Then dab off the foam with a dry and ab-
sorbent cloth (e.g. a micro-fibre cloth) and
vacuum off any residue once the surface is
completely dry.
Cleaning stains
Treat drink stains (such as coffee or fruit
juice, etc.) with a cleaning solution for deli-
cate fabrics. This solution should be applied
with a sponge. If the stains are difficult to re-
move, a washing paste can be applied direct-
ly onto the stain and worked into the fabric.
The surface will then have to be wiped with
clear water to remove any residue left by the
paste. To do so, use a damp cloth or sponge
and then dab the stain with an absorbent
cloth.
Remove chocolate or make-up stains with a
cleaning paste (for e.g., soft soap). Then re-
move the soap with water (wet sponge).
A spirit-based cleaner can be used to remove
grease, oil, lipstick or ball point pen. Then
dab the dissolved grease or colour particles
off with an absorbent cloth or similar. You
may also have to treat the stain once more
using washing paste and water.
If the covers or textile trim panels are badly
soiled we recommend that you have them
cleaned by a professional cleaning company
with a shampoo and spray.
Note
Open Velcro fasteners on clothes can damage
the seat upho
lstery. Make sure they are
closed.
Cleaning leather*
Normal cleaning
Moisten a cotton or woollen cloth with wa-
t
er and w
ipe o
ver the leather surfaces.
Cleaning stubborn stains
More stubborn dirt can be removed using a
mild soap solution (pure liquid soap; two
tablespoons diluted in one litre of water)
and a cloth.
Do not let the water soak through the leath-
er or soak into the seams.
Then wipe off with a soft, dry cloth.
Leather maintenance
The leather should be treated twice a year
with a special leather-care product, availa-
ble at Technical Services.
Apply these products very sparingly.
Then wipe off with a soft cloth.
SEAT does everything possible to preserve
the genuine qualities of this natural product.
Due to the natural properties of the specially
selected hides employed, the finished leath-
er has a certain sensitivity to grease and dirt,
etc. so a degree of care is required in every-
day use and when looking after the leather.
Dust and grit in the pores and seams can
scratch and damage the surface. If the vehi-
cle is under solar radiation for long periods,
the leather should be protected to prevent it
from fading. However, slight colour variations
in high-quality natural leather are normal.
CAUTION
Do not use so
lvents, wax polish, shoe
cream, spot removers or similar products on
leather.
