  • This video is for a subscriber of my channel. He asked about cleaning perforated leather seats and how the approach might be different. Great Question! Be sure to apply Lather Interior Cleanser to to the BRUSH, and not spray directly cleaner directly on the perforations. Afterwards, quickly vacuum or turn on the ventilated seats (if equipped) -L

    Good tip, just got a car with heated and cooled seats. I think I'll run a vacuum over it afterward whether I think it needs it or not but will also put a micro fiber cloth over the opening of the vacuum attachment. I'm sure it will still have enough suction to vacuum through the micro fiber; just for a little added scratch proof protection. Thanks for your informative videos! Have a good summer:)

    If you have a quite strong vacuum, you could always wrap a microfiber towel or cloth over the noozle to protect the seat. It will diminish the power, but most common cleaners should still be good enough to get any left over foam out of the perforations.
