Volvo XC90: Maintenance and service / Cleaning the leather steering wheel
Use cleaning agents and car care products recommended by Volvo. Clean regularly
and treat stains immediately. It is important to vacuum before using a cleaning
agent.
Leather needs to breathe. Never cover the leather steering wheel with a plastic
protector. Volvo Leather Care Kit 951 0251 and Leather Softener 943 7429 are recommended
for cleaning the leather steering wheel. First, remove dirt, dust, etc. with a damp
sponge or cloth.
CAUTION
Sharp objects such as rings could damage the leather on the steering wheel.
Treating stains on the steering wheel: Type 1 (ink, wine, coffee, milk,
sweat or blood)
- Use a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe the steering wheel using a solution of
5% ammonia. For blood stains, mix approximately 2 dl (1 cup) of water with 25
g (one ounce) of salt and wipe the stain.
Type 2 (grease, oil, sauces or chocolate)
- Same procedure as for Type 1 stains.
- Finish by wiping the wheel with an absorbent paper or towel.
Type 3 (dry dirt or dust)
- Remove the dirt/dust using a soft brush.
- Same procedure as for Type 1 stains.
