Can I use baby wipes or household cleaners on car leather?
It is not recommended for regular care. Many household cleaners and some wipes have a pH or ingredients that can dry out the topcoat, leave residue or gradually dull the finish. Occasional use for a small emergency spill is unlikely to cause damage, but a dedicated leather cleaner is safer for routine cleaning. Avoid alcohol-based wipes and anything containing bleach.
