How to Clean a Honda Pilot Seat

The Honda Pilot is an SUV that seats up to eight people. The Pilot comes standard with cloth seats, but leather seats are available in select versions. Regardless of whether your Pilot's seats are leather or cloth, you're bound to need to clean the seats in the Pilot on occasion due to everyday use and accidental spills. To clean a Honda Pilot seat, you do not need expensive cleaning materials but you do need to use the right ones.

Things You'll Need

  • Rag
  • Toothbrush
  • Vacuum
  • Broom
  • Seat cleaner
  • Liquid repellent
  • Leather protector
  • Clean debris and dirt off the seat using a broom or vacuum. If you use a broom on a leather seat, be careful not to scratch the leather with the bristles. Use a toothbrush to clean the hard-to-reach areas for the Honda Pilot's second-row seats.

  • Apply seat cleaner to an area of the seat that is not visible. You need to test any cleaner you use on an area that is not visible to see if the cleaner will damage the seat.

  • Spray the cleaner on the whole seat and clean it according to the product instructions.

  • Apply a liquid repellent product on cloth seats or a conditioning product to leather seats to protect seats preventatively.
