Cleaning leather upholstery

Only use cleaning agents and car care products
recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly and
treat stains at once for best results. Vacuuming
is important prior to using cleaning agents.
Leather upholstery*
Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to preserve
its original appearance.
Leather upholstery is a natural product that
changes and acquires a beautiful patina over
time. Regular cleaning and treatment are
required in order that the properties and colours
of the leather shall be preserved. Volvo offers a
comprehensive product – Volvo Leather Care Kit/
Wipes – for the cleaning and treatment of leather
upholstery which, when used in accordance with
the instructions, preserves the leather's protective
coating.
To achieve best results, Volvo recommends
cleaning and application of the protective cream
one to four times per year (or more if required).
Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes is available from
Volvo retailers.
Cleaning the leather upholstery
1. Apply the leather cleaner to a damp sponge
and squeeze until a foam is created.
2. Use the sponge on the stain in a circular
motion.
3. Thoroughly dampen the stain using the
sponge, allow the sponge to absorb the stain
without scrubbing.
4. Wipe the stain with a soft cloth and allow the
leather to dry thoroughly.
Protecting the leather upholstery
1. Apply a small amount of leather protective
agent to a cloth and then apply it to the
leather in light circular motions.
2. Allow to dry for about 20 minutes.
Protecting the leather upholstery makes it more
resistant to the stresses from the sun's UV radia-
tion.
