Having spotless seats does not only make your car look aesthetically pleasing but also makes it more comfortable, hygienic and most importantly it plays a huge role in maintaining the car’s value.
Whether it’s just a spill of coffee, a dropped ice cream cone or an unfortunate pet accident, having stains on car seats is not a good sight at all. However, you don’t need to worry anymore as Nasiol has cutting-edge cleaning solutions, achieving pristine car seats is easier than ever.
Let’s move forward to 7 straightforward steps to ensure that your car is cleaned the right way and feels brand new.
1. Vacuum Thoroughly Before Any Deep Cleaning
The initial process starts with vacuuming over your car seat. This gets rid of dust, crumbs, dirt, and other debris that can cause damage to fabric or leather if not cleaned properly.
Dirt particles act as abrasives, and when rubbed against the surface during cleaning, it causes friction that can scratch and degrade the material over time.
How to do it: To ensure that every area is covered completely, use the soft brush attachment to vacuum the seat. Particular attention should be paid to the backrest, the cushion, and any seams or cracks.
Tip:Use the crevice tool in tight spots and small gaps to ensure that each nook and cranny is vacated.
2. Use Nasiol’s Multi-Cleaner for Fabric or Leather
It’s time now to get into the deeper cleaning of the seat. There are fabric seats and leather seats, different ones and thus approached differently. Fortunately, Nasiol’s multi-surface cleaner has them all covered.
Gentle but strong Nasiol TEM APC Pro is a solution for every car seat material. It is sure to clean away all dirt, grime, and stains from the upholstery with no damage to the fabric.
For Fabric Seats:
Fabric seats tend to collect dirt, stains, and oils from daily use. To clean fabric seats thoroughly while protecting the upholstery, follow these steps:
- Prepare the Cleaner: Mix Nasiol TEM APC Pro with water at a ratio of 1:45 (1 part cleaner to 45 parts water). This dilution ensures the cleaner is effective but gentle on the fabric, preventing any damage to the fibers.
- Apply the Solution: Using a spray bottle, lightly mist the diluted cleaner onto the fabric seats. Avoid soaking the seats as excessive moisture can lead to mildew or mold growth. You just want to dampen the surface enough for the cleaner to work.
If you’re cleaning a particularly stained area, spray directly on the stain and allow it to sit for a few minutes before wiping. This will give the cleaner time to break down the dirt and oils.
- Wipe with a Microfiber Cloth: After spraying, take a clean microfiber cloth and gently wipe the fabric. Microfiber cloths are ideal for upholstery because they trap dirt and moisture without damaging the material.
- Rinse the Surface:Once you’ve wiped away the excess product, dampen another microfiber cloth with clean water and wipe the fabric again to remove any cleaner residue. If you applied a heavy amount of cleaner, ensure you rinse thoroughly to prevent any leftover product from leaving a sticky residue.
- Dry the Seats: Allow the seats to air dry completely before using them. Open the car doors or windows to promote airflow and speed up the drying process. Never use direct heat or blow dryers as they can damage the fabric.
For Leather Seats:
Leather seats are more delicate than fabric and require specific care to preserve their quality, softness, and appearance. Here’s how to clean leather seats effectively with Nasiol LeatherCleaner:
- Choose the Right Cleaner: Leather requires a specially formulated cleaner to ensure the material is not damaged. Nasiol LeatherCleaner is designed to lift dirt and grime from the leather without stripping its natural oils, which are crucial for maintaining the material’s softness and durability.
- Apply the Cleaner: Lightly spray Nasiol LeatherCleaner onto the leather seats. Unlike the fabric cleaner, you don’t need to dilute the leather cleaner. Just use it as is for optimal results. Work in small sections to ensure that you don’t let the product dry before you have a chance to wipe it off.
- Clean the Surface: Use a microfiber cloth or a soft, non-abrasive sponge to gently wipe the leather. Avoid using brushes with stiff bristles as they may scratch or damage the surface of the leather.
Dry and Buff the Leather:After cleaning, gently dab the surface with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any excess cleaner and moisture. Avoid rubbing too hard as this could cause wear.
3. Tackle Stubborn Stains with Spot Treatment
Stubborn stains, like food spills, ink, or grease, are harder to clean with maybe more diluted cleaning. Spot cleaning is essential, especially for areas where you feel that routine cleaning is not sufficient.
For fabric seats, use a more concentrated Nasiol TEM APC Pro. Spray the solution right onto the stain and let it sit for some minutes. Scrape the area gently with a soft brush or cloth and then wipe clean.
Leather seats must not be cleaned with harsh chemicals but only with Nasiol Leather Cleaner. This is a concentrated formula that should be applied directly on the spot. Let it sit for a little while then wipe off with a damp microfiber cloth.
4. Long-lasting Protection for Leather Seats
After cleaning the leather seats, you would then want to make sure that the material remains soft and hydrated, and also that it avoids all types of cracking. Nasiol is one of the leaders in leather protection solutions to prolong the lifespan of your car seats.
Use Nasiol LeatherBoost, this is a leather protection, which was developed specifically to preserve the leather with its natural look and feel, and will, at the same time protect the leather from UV rays, moisture, and aging.
How to apply: Clean and dry all leather seats, then pour a small amount of LeatherBoost onto an applicator cloth and with horizontal and vertical movement to the surface. Allow the product to dry for 24 hours and soak into material for maximum protection.
5. Use Nasiol CabinCare or Nano Seat Protect for Fabric Protection
After thorough cleaning, protecting fabric seats is really important to maintain them in good condition. Nasiol’s CabinCare and Nano Seat Protect are superior hydrophobic products in fabric protection that keeps away water, dirt and stains, making future cleaning efforts easier.
Applying CabinCare or Nano Seat Protect ensures that liquid spills bead up on the surface with no penetration into the fabric but get wiped away quickly and easily without leaving stain on the seat.

Spray with a standard Nasiol CabinCare bottle till the surface becomes slightly wet and wait for 24 hours for drying and curing period. It will then create an invisible shield protecting your seats from future spills or stains.
6. Avoid Over-Wetting the Seats During Cleaning
Another common error when cleaning car seats, particularly the fabric ones, is water. Many use too much water when cleaning them, and this waterlogged condition will result in thoroughly saturated seat cushions, which, eventually, might cause mold, mildew, or awful smells.
While using any cleaning agents or water, wring your cloth or sponge for it to be damp, not wet. That prevents the buildup of too much moisture. Upon washing, open the car windows or switch on the air conditioner so that it could dry faster.
Leather seats must also undergo minimal saturation. Too much liquid may break the fibers in leather, cracking and fading over time.
