Cleaning fabrics and textiles

If you get a stain on the vehicle's interior, such as on the headlining or seat upholstery, clean it as soon as possible.

These recommendations apply to various interior fabrics.

 Important

When cleaning upholstery

  • Never scrape or rub dirty surfaces. Instead, use gentle circular motions. Remember that sharp objects or abrasive materials can damage the vehicle.
  • Cleaning only isolated spots on the upholstery can leave water rings or other marks.
  • Do not remove surface upholstery during cleaning.
  • Only use cleaning agents and vehicle care products recommended by Volvo, and follow each product's accompanying instructions.

 Warning

Seats with side airbags

Never spray a cleaning agent directly on the sides of seats with side airbags. Instead, wipe them clean with a cloth lightly dampened with a suitable cleaning agent.

Vacuum or dust the area to remove loose dust and dirt.
Clean the area with a neutral-colored, clean microfiber cloth that is lightly dampened with water or a colorless, mild cleaning agent. Use gentle circular motions.
Let the material dry fully before use.

 Important

Cleaning seat belts

When cleaning a seat belt, keep it extended until fully dry.
