Cleaning the car's upholstery is important to maintaining a neat and healthy vehicle. In this blog post, Synthetic Oil Direct in Warminster will share some tips and techniques for cleaning your car's upholstery.

Determine the Type of Upholstery

Before you start cleaning your car's upholstery, it's essential to determine the type of material that it's made of. Different types of upholstery require different cleaning methods and products. For example, leather upholstery requires a different cleaning process than fabric upholstery. Research the fabrics and materials used in your car's upholstery to customize their care as much as possible.

Vacuum the Upholstery

The first step in cleaning your car's upholstery is to vacuum it thoroughly. Use a high-powered vacuum with an extension hose to reach all the nooks and crannies in the car. Pay special attention to areas where dirt and debris accumulate, such as the floor mats, seat crevices, and between the seat and backrest.

Use a Specialized Cleaner

Once you have removed any loose dirt and debris, it's time to use a specialized cleaner. Many different types of upholstery cleaners are available on the market, ranging from all-purpose cleaners to fabric-specific cleaners. Most people feel unsure about choosing a cleaner appropriate for the type of upholstery they have. If you're going through that experience, you can always read the manufacturer's instructions. Yet, if you can't use the owner's manual, you can test the products on a small, inconspicuous area before using a cleaner. This step helps ensure that it doesn't cause discoloration or damage.

AMSOIL offers a range of high-quality cleaning and maintenance products to keep your car's upholstery clean and protected. Stop by the AMSOIL web store or contact Synthetic Oil Direct in Warminster by dialing (215) 834-8720 if you want expert dealers to handle your purchase.

Spot-Clean Any Stains

If there are any stains on your car's upholstery, it may be necessary to spot-clean them before using an all-over cleaner. When cleaning the car's upholstery, it's essential to remember that different types of stains require other cleaning methods. For example, grease and oil stains need a different approach than coffee or wine stains. Always use a cleaner appropriate for the type of stain you are dealing with. Please refer to and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when doubt comes in.

Use a Soft-Bristled Brush

When using a cleaner on your car's upholstery, it is vital to use a soft-bristled brush to avoid damaging the fabric. A soft-bristled brush can help to loosen dirt and grime without causing any damage to the upholstery. Be gentle when using the brush, and avoid scrubbing too hard.

Rinse and Dry the Upholstery

Once you have finished cleaning your car's upholstery, it's important to rinse it thoroughly. While you're at it, remove any leftover cleaner or residue. Use a clean, damp cloth to rinse the upholstery, and then use a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture. Use a fan or open the car windows to help the upholstery dry more quickly.

Use a Fabric Protector

After cleaning your car's upholstery, using a fabric protector is a great way to maintain the appearance of your car's upholstery. Here are some reasons why:

1. Stain protection: A fabric protector creates a barrier on the fabric that helps prevent stains from setting in. This can be particularly useful for car upholstery exposed to spills and stains, possibly from food or drinks.
2. Easy cleaning: When spills and stains happen, a fabric protector can make them easier to clean up. Instead of soaking into the fabric, the spill will bead up on the surface, making it easier to wipe away.
3. Longer-lasting upholstery: This can be particularly important if you plan to sell your car. Remember that well-maintained upholstery can help increase its resale value.

4. UV protection: Many fabric protectors also offer UV protection to prevent fading and other damage caused by the sun's rays.

A neglected air-conditioning system can contribute to dusty and dirty upholstery. Using AMSOIL's Power Foam® will spare you from this problem!
