How should I maintain the seat covers on my Volkswagen Touareg?

I recently purchased a Volkswagen Touareg and want to ensure the seat covers stay in good condition. What steps should I take to properly maintain them?

Regularly vacuum and wipe down the seat covers to prevent dirt and debris from becoming embedded in the fabric.

Invest in a protective seat cover or use a towel when transporting pets or any potentially messy items.

Use a specialized cleaning solution and soft-bristled brush to remove tough stains carefully.

Avoid using harsh cleaning products or scrubbing too vigorously, as this can damage the seat covers.

For leather seat covers, regularly apply conditioner to prevent cracking and maintain a supple surface.
