Steam clean leather seats

[T2urtle]

Has anyone done this?

I have a white-ish and creme-ish leather seats on my Infiniti, it'd called "stone"

While it doesn't look dirty by itself, compared to the rear seats they are. I do the normal leather wipe conditioner and simple cleaning. But I was looking for something more effective. I was going to buy a small handheld steamer for like $100 and try it on my leather.

You guys think it will clean well? I know leather expands with heat and people use steam to get creases out of the seats this way.

I've seen leatherette and that seems like its really involved. I don't want to go that deep

i would avoid using a steam cleaner on leather..it may become damaged. Talk to your local drycleaner first.

If you can get one of these brushes and do this it would be good


If the leather is perforated:

If just regular leather:

Also if you watch the end of the second youtube video, he takes a steam machine end and places a microfiber towel over the opening, run the steamer and scrub the surface with the steam through the towel. It works WONDERS on plastic dashboards etc.

He seems to have a high end unit. I was trying to get away with something like this...

Hopefully I can get the same results. Its almost the same color as that accord but mines is perforated.

I used Soft Scrub with no bleach on some leather sets before, excellent results.

Of course I really didn't care if they got screwed up, so I was willing to take the chance. You would want to test on an inconspicuous area.

I do warm water every other month. It seems to get some off but then I got a good look at my rear seats compared to fronts. Its almost a whole new shade (think of those teeth whiting shade charts)

I might pay a pro to do something to them.
