How practical are eco-leather covers? Customer reviews contain different opinions on this matter. Let's look at all the cons and pros of this product.
Despite the active advertising of all kinds of detergents for car interiors , the best “protectors” from dirt and stains are car seat covers. Ecoskin is a new practical material that has taken all the best from natural and artificial upholstery fabrics.
What is ecoskin?
This is an artificial material, which is a cotton base, on which a thin layer of polyurethane is applied. Plasticizers are not used for its production, and it is their use that explains the unpopularity of artificial leather. These synthetic additives can release various substances harmful to humans during operation. Eco-leather covers are absolutely safe in this regard. Customer reviews say that they do not cause any unpleasant sensations during operation. A big plus of the mentioned material is hygroscopicity, that is, it “breathes”.
Practicality
Now let's look at how durable and durable eco-leather covers are. Customer reviews indicate that this material is wear-resistant. With proper operation, it will last for many years. However, it should be remembered that everything pricking and cutting (and this is not only hooks or knives, but also rivets, zippered locks, etc.) can cling to such an upholstery and break it. In this case, a woven cotton base will appear on the surface, which will significantly worsen the appearance of the cabin. Remember this feature of eco-leather when transporting pets - sharp claws and teeth can cause great harm to covers.
Many motorists on hot days leave their cars in the open sun. The question of the effect of scorching rays on eco-leather covers will be natural. Customer reviews, already faced with a similar problem, indicate that for accessories made of the material in question, overheating is not terrible. It should be noted that even after a long stay under the influence of light and heat, eco-leather remains bright, does not fade, does not dry out and does not crack.
Car covers made of eco-leather can be of any color - this is its advantage over genuine leather, so the buyer can easily choose the right shade of upholstery for his interior, no matter how “complicated” it is.
Care
With careful care, eco-leather will serve its owner for many years. Do not leave it wet for a long time. If liquid, such as coffee, is spilled on the seat, blot the stain with a soft cloth. Then remove the remaining moisture with dry wipes. Chlorine-containing substances and abrasives should not be used to remove stains. With significant pollution, you can use an alcohol solution (no more than 50%), vodka or ammonia.
To summarize, let's say that eco-leather covers are a great solution for interior design. With proper operation, they will be pleasing to the eye for a long time and fulfill their direct function - protecting the passenger compartment from pollution.
