Keeping the Leather in Good Condition
Leather upholstery is a sign of luxury. Many people worry about spilling food or drinks on the leather, but leather is actually easy to clean.

- Two microfiber cloths (one wet and one dry)
- Leather conditioning product
- Soft-bristled brush
Step 1

Step 2
Spray a leather cleaning product onto a microfiber cloth. Wipe the upholstery with the microfiber cloth. This will remove dirt from the surface.
