Getting Started
While cleaning your golf cart, it may be easy to skip the seats time and time again, however, it will eventually add up and no one wants to sit on filthy seats. Leather seats hold up over time, but you’ll still want to properly care for them. Before you begin, it’s helpful to gather everything you’ll need in one place so you’re not trying to find something midway. Remember that strong cleaners like bleach and ammonia may lead to quick results, but they can also wear away at the material over time. You’ll instead want to regularly use a sponge and mild, soapy water or cleaning solution.
Spray Cleaner & Scrub
The first step is to spray down your golf carts seats with a mold and mildew remover and get the cleaner into every crevice and corner. You may want to use more quantity on darker spots of mold. Let the substance soak for five to ten minutes before you take a soft brush and gently scrub at the stains. Be careful as you don’t want to grind in the bristles as this may scuff your seats. Mold and mildew should come off easily as you do this.
Wipe It Down
Next, use your sponges or microfiber cloths to wipe all that dirt and debris away. If you find that you’ve still got some patches left, you’ll want to repeat the process a few more times until things look clean. You can try a Magic Eraser to scrub at stubborn stains gently in circular motions and this should remove much of whatever is left. Wipe down the seats again when you’re done.
Clean the Seat Covers
If you use seat covers, they should also be inspected and cleaned as required. Clean them off using a cleaner designed for the particular product they’re made of and address any tears. Keep in mind, seat covers can help protect your seats from the elements and are more easily replaced than the seats themselves. As a proactive measure, you'll want to vacuum your golf cart seats regularly to get rid of the dirt and grime.
