Subaru Forester: Cleaning the interior / Synthetic leather upholstery
The synthetic leather material used on the
SUBARU may be cleaned using mild soap
or detergent and water, after first vacuuming
or brushing away loose dirt. Allow the
soap to soak in for a few minutes and wipe
off with a clean, damp cloth. Commercial
foam-type cleaners suitable for synthetic
leather materials may be used when
necessary.
CAUTION
Strong cleaning agents such as
solvents, paint thinners, window
cleaner or fuel must never be used
on leather or synthetic interior materials.
Doing so could damage the
surface and cause the color to
deteriorate.
Water repellent seat material
The water repellency of the seat fabric will
decrease over time. Do not apply additional
water repellent coating.
