Before adding a cleanser of any sort to the mud-stained areas of the leather car seats, brush off as much of the mud as possible using a soft household brush (of the sort that comes with a dustpan), or use an old toothbrush. Sweep the mud that comes off easily into a bag or simply onto the ground outside the car. Make a mild cleanser by diluting a few drops of Dawn detergent (or similar mild detergent) in a small bucket of warm water. Dip a cleaning cloth into this mixture, wring out the water to remove as much liquid from the cloth as possible, then rub gently over the muddy parts of the seat. Rinse, then dip into the detergent mix, wring and repeat until all mud has been removed. Wipe all wet areas of the seats dry with a soft cloth or chamois, then finish with leather re-conditioner to restore the leather’s condition.
