Cleaning leather upholstery
Leather upholstery*
Volvo's leather upholstery is treated to protect its original appearance. Over time, sunlight, grease, dirt, etc. could break down the protective layer. This could result in scratches and cracking.
Leather upholstery is a natural product that changes and acquires a beautiful patina over time. Regular cleaning and treatments are required to preserve the qualities and color of the leather. Volvo offers a comprehensive product, Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes, for cleaning and treating leather upholstery that, when used as directed, preserves the leather's protective coating.
For best results, Volvo recommends cleaning and applying protective cream one to four times a year (or more as needed). Volvo Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Volvo Leather Softener 943 7429 are available for purchase at Volvo retailers.
