A car with a leather interior feels luxurious, but if you don’t take care of your leather seats, that car will feel rundown in no time. Cleaning your interior is just as important as the outside of your car. Leather is prone to wear, wrinkles, cracking and more. That’s why leather cleaners and conditioners are just as important as car polishsoapwaxes or any other products used to keep your car pristine. Investing in a great leather cleaner can keep your vehicle’s interior in good shape for years to come.

We’ve tested quite a few leather care products over the years designed to clean and protect your leather surfaces, so if you’re searching for the best leather conditioner for cars, as well as the best car leather cleaner, read on. Our picks below, which we update periodically, are based on firsthand experience. Not every cleaner is created equal. We’re highlighting products that maintain and improve leather condition without leaving greasy residue in place of dirt and grime — a leather product shouldn’t leave leather seats feeling gross. We’ve also included some pro tips on the best way to apply leather care products.

Lexol

Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it does a poor job. Lexol’s leather cleaner and conditioner kit does a bang-on job for the price. While the pads had a tendency to fall apart a little bit, the products worked just like they should, pulling off dirt and grime with the cleaner and leaving a nice soft leather behind with the conditioner. This leather car seat cleaner can also be used to clean all leather item- auto leather, footwear, handbags, briefcases, and leather upholstery. This leather care kit contains 1 all leather deep cleaner, 1 all leather deep conditioner, and 2 premium applicator sponges. This conditioner has natural oils that nourish, protect leather, and restores damaged leather.

One thing: Lexol leather cleaner does not smell very good. We’d highly recommend using this leather surface cleaner outside with windows down in the car. But a leather interior care kit for this price is hard to pass up when it does work.
