Caring for upholstery and carpets (Focus 2)

Every three months, clean the car mats and interior panels (if necessary, this work can be done more often). To remove dust and debris, you can use a hard brush to clean the mats. After this, the mats and interior trim must be thoroughly vacuumed, especially along the seams and folds.

Stubborn dirt can be removed from the mats by treating them with household or car shampoos in aerosol packaging, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Some of the interior panels are covered with vinyl. There are many special cleaners and shampoos available for this type of upholstery. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and test a new composition on a hidden area of the upholstery before attempting a full cleaning to determine whether the cleaning agent will cause discoloration of the upholstery.

After cleaning, treat the vinyl upholstery with a protective compound.

WARNING: Before treating seats, read the instructions for use of the product: not all compositions are suitable for treating seats, as they make them too slippery.

WARNING: Do not apply protective compounds to the steering wheel.
