Have a debate going on with a few friends on their newly changed Katzkin leather seats to cloth. For those with Katzkin leathers, what do you all use to clean/condition them with to keep them maintained? Let’s hear them!

Murphy Oil Soap is what the upholstery shop said to use on the set they installed on my last truck.

I thought the same! I took the advice and used nothing but for 4-5 years of ownership, diluted per the directions on the bottle. The seats looked great when I traded the truck, but I never had to clean anything real gnarly off them. It seemed to clean and condition well!

Warm water and a towel. When I had mine installed that was what they recommended on the care instructions. Still look brand new.

I’ve been using Leatherique on my old Mercedes and previous Jags for years with great results. I’ve only used the cleaner so far, not the conditioner yet on my Katzkins in the F150 since they’re only 7 months old. Works great, I’ve also used the interior detailer spray from Chemical Guys on the seats. They clean up easily with a spray and quick wipe

Very interesting to see different things being used to clean these Katzkins! Has anyone used the Chemical Guys leather cleaner and conditioner (usually comes in 2-pack)? Thoughts?

For conditioning I use Leather Honey. It is not the easiest as it does take time to soak in, but this stuff is amazing.

Not tried it, but have been converted to their interior, and quick detail spray. less dust on exterior paint with it over traditional quick detailers.

I definitely do love their other stuff, especially their interior spray. Does great work keeping the dust off the dash too.

I have tried it with great results, on lots of different oem leathers but never katzkins.

I contacted Katzkin directly and they suggested using Ivory soap for cleaning. I pushed them about conditioners because they danced around the question. They said the leather is pre treated and they don't suggest using any conditioner. I was surprised. Ill probably use Lexol because that is what I've always used in the past on leather with good results.
