Cleaning Leather Seats

Post by tin_wings »

Hey evryone!

I have been looking around on the net for diffrent ways to clean leather aircraft seats and have not found anything very helpful. Dose any one know of a less costly way of cleaning seats other then buying the little bottles of cleaner that can barely clean seven seats?

Leather seat cleaner

Post by Bulawrench »

I have a good one for cleaning leather seats. After buying a proper cleaner/conditioner and going through the motions several times the dirt and pen marks never seem to come off. Varsol is your chemical of choice,that is right from the ulphostry shop. Follow up with a conditioner. It is also the only chemical to work on swade.

Good luck

I just tried the fast orange on our 99's seats and did that ever do the trick! I didn't know they were actually supposed to be light grey. Thanks for the help!

Any suggestions on how to get pen ink out or are we SOL?
