Why car seats cannot be cleaned like normal upholstery

Many car detailers offer to clean child seats, but most do not have specific training in how child safety seats are designed.

Child car seats are safety equipment, not just fabric.

Using the wrong cleaning methods can damage the seat or affect how it performs in a crash.

Some detailers use:

• steam cleaners

• pressure washers

• chemical cleaners

These methods may clean it, but they can actually damage important components.

Manufacturers specifically recommend gentle cleaning methods, no stream, and to never allow the harnesses to get soaking wet.

Why harness straps cannot be washed

Harness straps are designed to stretch slightly during a crash to absorb energy. Using soap, chemicals, or aggressive scrubbing can weaken the fibers and can affect the safety performance of the harness.

In addition, some harness straps contain fire resistant material that can be degraded with harsh washing methods.

For this reason manufacturers usually recommend only wiping harness straps with water.

Our cleaning process follows manufacturer guidelines to protect the integrity of the seat.
