Well since now I own a Lexus I been checking out the ClubLexus board. I came accoss this thread about cleaning old dirty leather. So i decided to give it a try and WOW did it work, my old dirty leather came out so clean and softer. I recommend anyone with dirty leather seats to give this a try. Please read the thread before trying and after using the soft scrub use a good leather conditioner.

Hope this helps someone.

 

what exatly is "soft scrub"? as i read the post, i kept thinking its something like a scrubber but toward the end of the post, i guess its some liquid cleaning product.....not a scrubber. am i right? i need to try this on my lexus too. the leather is stiff and hard... let me know where i can get this "soft scrub" chemical..

 

Soft scrub is a bathroom cleaning product, it is a liquid. You can find it at your local Walmart, that is where I got mine. I have a pic of it but I cant post it here.

 

Din,

Bought me a Soft Scrub w/ Lemon, 26 OZ $2.99 at Target, I am ready to try it. I will let you know how happy it will make me.
Others who have tried this? I can not believe it will work. I have labored so much on trying to bring back the luster to my seats!!!

Thanks.

Mandy

 

I wounldn't use soft scrub. It has bleach. You should use Lexol's 2-step system. Cleaner/Conditioner. They specialize in leather care.

 

This is why you buy the Soft scrub with out bleach.

 

This is what I posted in the TL discussion fourm

SOft scrub is a bathroom toliet cleaning product. You can find this product at walmart. Make sure you get the lemon gresse cutting type.

When I first read that post i was like hmm... then I decided to try it, put a little on a small area. waited liek 2 weeks nothing bad happend. Well I finally did it to all my seats and like I said WOW!

All you need is the soft scrub and a few clean white towels a bucket of water and some good leather condtioner.

Put some soft scrub onto the towel, wipe in a circle motion and you should see the dirt comming out. Then get another towel damp it in the bucket of water wipe your seats down let dry. When dry see if any other dirty areas if so they use the soft scrub again, repeat untill all cleaned. Once done wipe on the leather condtioner(I apply 3 coats)

Remember to try in a spot that no one can see first to make sure it wont damage your leather, differnt cars have differnt types of leather and such.

you will see that there are differnt types of soft scrub they one you are suppose to use is Soft Scrub® with Lemon this one doesnt contain bleach.

 

Din,

So i do not need a toothbrush? i thought you said toothbrush, just clean towels? what conditioner did you use?

thanks.

 

i guess any conditioner will do.. i got meguiars cleaning and conditioning...ill use that after i try this soft scrub product

 

Mandy I didnt say anything about using a toothbrush. Maybe in the orginal post on Clublexus, they may of used a toothbrush. I use Meguiars Leather conditioning.

 

Guys!

I did it! Had the courage to try it and it sure works! It brought the leather's gloss down and took out all the dirt. Then I used the conditioner, worked like a charm. Tried on the steering wheel, too, great, toned down the shiny spots.

Now, keep in mind, this is a cleanser, it cleans the leather by scrubbing it, mildly. Works like a charm. Just make sure you put in the conditioner to protect it. it is like having old skin peeled off, needs some protectant!

Try it and ya'll be smiling....Thanks Din!!!!

This sounds great this is the reason why it's good to browse other car forums I will take this info to Maxima.org and altimas.net and freshalloy.com with me. peace

(i followed up with some leather conditioner to make sure it didnt dry out)

 

can someone post a pic of a bottle of this "soft scrub"?? i went to walmart yesterday and didn't see JACK!! let me know..

 

Metoo ..I couldn't find it. Not sure if they have it in Canada

 

Here it is



You'll find it in the cleaning section of the grocery portion of the Super Wal-Mart stores. That's where I found mine. It was in the aisle with the air freshners and household cleaners.

Hope that helps,
Slagboy

 

Yeah I had to go 2 times before I got the right bottle.

 

That's it! $2.39 and it will give you immense happiness!

Use a good conditioner after the soft scrub.....

Good luck!

Hey Everyone,

After a lot of doubting, I tried this out on my fiancee's 2001 Accord EX-V6 and let me tell you. WOW!!!! As you all know, the Accord leather is not as soft and supple as ours. But after I did the Soft Scrub cleaning, followed by a full Lexol treatment, I think it's gonna give my TL a run for the money. Thanks for the tip DIN. I am really a believer now.

If we can only get everyone onto Zaino too...

 

no problem
