With the changes in our travel methods now, cars have gradually entered everyone’s life. It is like another small home for everyone, carrying our joys and sorrows. In cars, seats and armrests are used most frequently among car interior components. Because they are often in contact with people, they can easily be stained with stains. Most car owners will send their cars to the store for cleaning. There are also many materials for car seats and armrests. The seats and armrests of my Xiao Bailang are made of woven fabric, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Since I put a leather coat on my seat, I will not clean it for the time being. I only sit down and clean it. The following is a brief introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of weaving seats and cleaning tutorials. It is purely a personal opinion. Don’t spray if you don’t like it.

Advantages:
1. The fabric has strong softness and can perfectly match the padding inside the seat, so the comfort of most fabric seats is still good.
2. Fabric seats have stronger friction and are not easy to slip when sitting on like leather seats. Fabric seats are more stable when sitting on.
3. The fabric is not sensitive to temperature changes, and it will not have the feeling of being cool in winter and hot in summer as a leather seat.

Disadvantages:
1. No grade, especially light-colored fabric seats, giving people a feeling of cheapness.
2. If you accidentally knock down the colored and smelly liquid on the fabric seat, cleaning will not be so simple and require a special cleaning solution for cleaning.

Cleaning method for fabric seats
1. If it is not very dirty, we can use a long brush and a powerful vacuum cleaner to clean it. It is just for simple dust cleaning. If conditions permit, we can use a handheld vacuum cleaner. The two work together, brushing and sucking. The cleaning effect is also very good.
2. If it is dirty, then we have to use foam cleaners to clean it. There are many foam cleaners on the market specifically for fabric seats. After spraying, use a brush first, then wipe with a soft dry towel.

SAIC Volkswagen’s original accessories also have methods to use them.
