Caring for cushion upholstery (VW Passat B3)

Textile upholstery: Clean the cushion upholstery with a vacuum cleaner or a not too soft brush. In case of heavy soiling, clean the textile upholstery with a dry foam cleaner.

Grease and oil stains should be treated with cleaning gasoline or stain remover. Do not pour the cleaning agent directly onto the material, as this will inevitably create a border. Wipe the stain in a circular motion from the outside in. Other stains can usually be removed with warm soapy water.

Faux leather upholstery: The artificial leather upholstery has a dirt-repellent surface. This upholstery does not require special care.

For normal soiling, it is often sufficient to use the following cleaning agents: soap lye or cleaning solution. Soap lye is prepared from water and a regular mild detergent, and the cleaning solution is prepared from water and a regular artificial leather cleaner.

Using a soft brush makes it easier to remove dirt from the folds on the surface.

Leather upholstery: In bright sunlight and when parked for a long time, close the seats to prevent them from fading.

Clean leather surfaces with a slightly damp knitted or woolen cloth, without over-wetting the leather and seams. Afterwards, wipe the dry leather with a clean soft cloth.

Heavily soiled leather surfaces can be cleaned with a mild detergent without bleach (2 tablespoons per 1 liter of water). Grease and oil stains should be carefully and lightly coated with cleaning gasoline without rubbing.

Cleaned (shiny) leather pillows can be treated with carnelian for care and as a measure against static electricity (carnelian). Before use, shake the product well and apply thinly with a soft cloth. After drying, wipe with a clean and soft cloth. With normal load on the seats, this treatment is recommended to be carried out every 6 months.
