Advice
Cleaning and care of leather uphols-
t
er
y
Natural leather requires an extra degree of at-
tention and car
e.
Normal cleaning
–
Moisten a cotton or woollen cloth with wa-
ter and wipe over the leather surfaces.
More stubborn dirt
–
More stubborn dirt can be removed using a
mild so
ap solution (pure liquid soap: two
tablespoons dissolved in one litre of wa-
ter).
–
Do not let the water soak through the leath-
er or penetrate into the seams.
–
Then wipe off with a soft, dry cloth.
Removal of stains
–
Remove fresh water-based stains such as
coffee, tea, juices, blood etc. with an ab-
sorbent cloth or kitchen roll, or use the
cleaning agent from the care set for dried-
on stains.
–
Remove fresh grease-based stains that
have not penetrated the surface such as
butter, mayonnaise, chocolate, etc. with an
absorbent cloth or kitchen roll or with the
cleaning agent from the care set.
–
Treat fat-based, dried-in stains with grease-
dissolving spray.
–
Treat less common stains on leather, such
as ball-pen and other inks, felt-tip pens,
nail polish, dispersion paint, shoe cream
etc. with a special leather stain remover.
Leather maintenance
–
The leather should be treated regularly
(about twice a year) with a special leather-
care product.
–
Apply these products very sparingly.
–
Then wipe off with a soft cloth.

Cleaning Alcantara upholstery
Removing dust and dirt
–
Moisten a cloth just a lit
tle and wipe down
the seat covers.
Removing stains
–
Moisten a cloth with lukewarm water or di-
luted whit
e spirits.
–
Dab at the stain. Start at the outside and
work inwards.
–
Dry the clean area with a soft cloth.
Do not use leather cleaning products on Al-
cantara seat covers.
You may use a suitable soap on dust and dirt.
Dust and grit in the pores and seams can
scratch and damage the surface. If the car is
left standing in the sun for long periods, Al-
cantara leather should be protected against
direct sunlight to prevent it from fading. How-
ever, slight colour variations will arise in nor-
mal use.
