Vehicle maintenance and cleaning 279
Safety First Operating instructions Practical tips Technical Data
x Always check that the dyes used in clothing are fast to prevent them from
staining the upholstery. This is particularly true for clear-coloured upholstery.
Caution
Failure to observe the instructions in the check list for caring for your uphol-
stery could result in damage or discolouration of the upholstery and covers.
x Always follow the check list and perform the necessary operations.
Note
SEAT recommends you take the vehicle to a qualified workshop to treat any
stains on the upholstery caused by the discolouration of clothing.
Cleaning upholstery, textile covers and Alcantara
®
material
Normal cleaning
x Before applying cleaning products, please read the instructions for
handling and the warnings shown on the container.
x The upholstery, textile covers, Alcantara
®
material and mats should be
regularly vacuumed (with vacuum brush).
x We recommend that you use a soft sponge or lint-free, micro-fibre cloth
for normal cleaning .
x Clean Alcantara
®
surfaces with a damp lint-free cotton, wool or micro-
fibre cloth used for normal cleaning .
General superficial dirt on upholstery and textile covers can be cleaned with
a normal foam cleaning product.
If the upholstery and the material trims are very dirty, we recommend you
have them cleaned by a specialist cleaning form.
Cleaning stains
It may be necessary to clean the whole surface and not only the stain itself.
Especially if the surface has been dirtied through normal use. Otherwise, the
stained area may become lighter than the rest of the surface after treatment.
Caution
Brushes should only be used to clean the mats and floor mat! Other surfaces
may be damaged if a brush is used.
Caution
Do not use steam cleaning equipment, as the dirt becomes more incrusted in
the material when steam is applied.
Type of stain Cleaning the vehicle
Water-based stains,
e.g. coffee or fruit
juice.
Use a sponge and wipe with a solution of water
and wool wash.
Dry the area gently with a soft dry cloth.
Persistent stains,
e.g. chocolate or
make-up.
Apply cleaning paste
