Cleaning Perforated Leather

My max has perforated leather interior. Some of the holes have become plugged with dirt and junk. What's the best way to clean this stuff out without damaging the leather?

I asked the same question some time ago and got no response, so I got creative. The holes on my seats are not plugged, but when I clean the seats, I use a cotton swab or a tooth pick to clean any excess cleaner that gets in some of the holes. It can be pretty tedious. I have also found that if I smear the cleaner around on the cotton cloth before i apply it to the seats, it minimizes the amount that gets in the holes. Anyway, to answer your question directly, I would use swabs or tooth picks. Good luck and be patient.

Thanks for the tip. I was hoping not to go the tooth pick route. Like you said it's tedious but also I'm afraid of damaging the material.

Vacuum them first. Then get Leatherique and pristine clean. Your seats will thank you.

Not sure if it's made there but I did find a Canadian version of their website: http://www.leatheriquecanada.ca

I looks like they have a distributor in Toronto.
