Leather Cleaning? Honey

Postby Upset99 » Wed 07.04.2010, 21:47

Does anyone know to effectively clean honey from the leather seats without damaging seats? I am confident that there must be some good chemistry that is needed.

Thanks

A dozen toothless hamsters?

More helpfully, clean art or lighter fuel might do the trick.

Thinking about it, honey is water soluble, particularly in warm/hot water. Try that.

Eating baklava in the car is not recommended in the owner's manual.

I agree about heating it up - maybe a hot water cloth pressed onto the leather for minute, then wipe it up, repeat until the mass of honey is gone. Then I'd try a drop of detergent and a clean water cloth, then another clean one to rinse the soap, finally some leather conditioner rubbed in thoroughly.

Borrow a dog - it'll be all cleaned up in no time.
Of course, your seats will smell of dog slobber... :)

Well I was going to say lick it, but thought better of it. Having read our ex analist's post however, it seems like I'm a genius in the making. :wink:
