2023 Volvo XC90 Interior cleaning
Cleaning the centre display
Turn off the centre display with a long press on the home button.
Wipe the screen with a clean and dry microfibre cloth using small circular movements. If necessary, lightly moisten the microfibre cloth with clean water.
Activate the display with a short press on the home button.
Never use abrasive cloths, paper towels or tissue paper, since they may scratch the centre display.
Cleaning the driver display
Never use a cleaning agent. A special cleaning agent available from Volvo dealers can be used for more difficult cleaning.
Cleaning the Head-up display
(Option/accessory)
Never use strong stain removers. A special cleaning agent available from Volvo dealers can be used for more difficult cleaning.
Cleaning the leather steering wheel
Leather needs to breathe. Never cover the leather steering wheel with protective plastic. We recommend Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes for cleaning the leather steering wheel. First remove dirt, dust, etc. with a damp sponge or cloth.
Cleaning the seatbelts
Use water and a synthetic detergent. A special textile cleaning agent is available from Volvo retailers. Ensure that the seatbelt is dry before allowing it to retract.
Cleaning the interior
- Certain items of coloured clothing (e.g. dark jeans and suede garments) may stain the upholstery. If this occurs, it is important to clean and treat these parts of the upholstery as soon as possible.
- Never use strong solvents such as washer fluid, pure petrol or white spirit or concentrated alcohol to clean the interior, since this may damage the upholstery as well as other interior materials.
- Never spray the cleaning agent directly onto components that have electrical buttons and controls. Wipe them instead using a moistened cloth containing the cleaning agent.
- Sharp objects and Velcro may damage the fabric upholstery.
- Only use cleaning agents on the type of material for which they were intended.
Cleaning textile floor and entrance mats
Remove inlaid carpets for separate cleaning of the floor carpet and the inlaid carpets. Each inlay mat is secured with pins.
Remove the inlay mat by taking hold of the inlay mat at each pin and lifting the mat straight up.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt.
A textile cleaner is recommended for stains on the floor mat, after vacuuming.
After cleaning, fit the inlay mat in place by pressing it in at each pin.
Cleaning interior plastic, metal and wood parts
A fibrillated fibre or microfibre cloth, lightly moistened with water, available from Volvo dealers, is recommended for cleaning interior parts and surfaces.
Do not scrape or rub stains. Never use strong stain removers, either.
Cleaning leather upholstery
(Option/accessory)
Leather upholstery(Option/accessory) is a natural product that changes and acquires a beautiful patina over time. Regular cleaning and treatment are required in order that the properties and colours of the leather shall be preserved. Volvo offers a comprehensive product, Volvo Leather Care KitWipes, for cleaning and treatment of leather upholstery. The protective outer layer of the leather is preserved when this is used according to the instructions.
To achieve results that are as good as possible, Volvo recommends cleaning and application of the protective cream one to four times per year (or more frequently if required). Volvo Leather Care Kit/Wipes is available from Volvo dealers.
Apply the leather cleaner to a damp sponge and squeeze until a foam is created.
Use the sponge on the stain in a circular motion.
Thoroughly dampen the stain using the sponge, allow the sponge to absorb the stain without scrubbing.
Wipe the stain with a soft cloth and allow the leather to dry thoroughly.
Apply a small amount of leather protective agent to a cloth and then apply it to the leather in light circular motions.
Allow to dry for about 20 minutes. Protecting the leather upholstery makes it more resistant to the stresses from the sun’s UV radiation.
Cleaning fabric upholstery and headlining
- Start by vacuum cleaning the upholstery.
- Follow the instructions for the fabric cleaning agent.
- When cleaning fabric, a spray extraction cleaner is recommended for suction of the washing fluid and subsequent water rinsing.
- Brush the headlining carefully using a soft brush.
- Follow the instructions for the fabric cleaning agent.
- Then use a soft and lint-free cloth to wipe the headlining.
