Carpet and Upholstery Care (Mercedes-Benz C-Class W201)

Upholstery and carpets should be vacuumed regularly. If they are heavily soiled, they should be removed from the vehicle for cleaning or washing and dried thoroughly before installation.

The seats and interior trim panels of the car should be wiped with a damp cloth. If stains appear on the upholstery, they can be removed using a liquid detergent and a soft brush. Remember to regularly clean the headrests in the same way as the upholstery. When using liquid detergents inside the car, do not over-wet the surfaces being cleaned. Excess moisture can remain in the seams and cause unpleasant odors in the interior. If water accidentally gets inside the interior, especially on the carpet, it is necessary to thoroughly dry the interior. Do not use oil or electric heaters inside the car for this purpose.
