I purchased Turtle Wax Leather Cleaner and Conditioner at an auto parts store. Works great. I believe any major brand cleaner and conditioner will work fine.

We discovered Magic Eraser by Mister Clean in the grocery store or WallMart. It cleans leather like you would not believe. We first used it to clean scuff marks on our walls, but it is safe for leather and it works great. If there are any golfers out there, it will clean white golf shoes as well. I keep one in my shoe bag to clean my golf shoes, but it really got our white leather RV seats clean.

Lexol. At Pepboys. They make a cleaner and a conditioner. Not cheap. The guys at Lazydays use it.

Lexol is the best bet, I use it on mine and it works great.

I think the trick to keeping leather and the whole moho clean is to do it often.
Once you let the dirt and grime build up its twice as bad. I personally use Meguires Leather cleaner but I'm sure the ones mentioned has worked as well. Lexol sounds like a good product ,,if the professionals use it, it must be ok. Safe Miles and

If the leather is deeply creased you may want to try a soft scrub brush to work the cleaner into the creases. Of couse cleaning more often and some preventative measures once you get things up to snuff may need to be considered.

Another thing the Mr. Clean magic erasers are really good for is cleaning the underside of your awning. Done mine in a few minutes and they removed a whole winters grime, leaving it looking like new. No mess or dripping water.

Winnebago's "leather" is actually imatation leather.

I was cleaning my leather seats with a cleaner preservative, which shall remain nameless(major brand), & it wasn't doing the job as easily as I wished. When in & got some of DWs microwipes & used plain water & it did a great job, quickly.

I thought Winnebago's leather is real and Itasca's is fake.

My wife bought two white sleeveless t-shirts, and slipped one over the back of each seat. She also bought white "knee highs" for the arm rests.

The only part of the chair to see "action" now is the seat, and I clean that with Armoral wipes.

Both Winnebago Industries Winnebago line and Itasca line use imatation "ultra leather". Winnebago Industries uses no real leather.

"UltraLeather is a Non-woven fabric with a surface of 100% polyurethane and a knit backing of 70% cuprammonium rayon and 30% nylon."

I am handy with a sewing machine, so here's what I did. Went to Walmart and bought towels to match our coaches interior. I cut the towels and made covers to slip over the back of the chairs and with the remaining fabric I made sleeve covers for the arms. I can take them off and wash them whenever needed, and they look great. I've had a lot of complements on them since they look like they go with the coach. Since it's the arms and head area that gets the dirtiest the rest is easy to keep clean. I used Coach leather cleaner and it cleaned all the soil out of the seats and now they stay clean with little effort.
