Most car owners are faced with the question of what should their car seats wear - fabric, leather or something else? Tata International Limited (TIL) helps to settle this dilemma of car owners by citing reasons that why should one opt for leather seats.

The company is of the opinion that leather adds class to the interior of the car by enabling it to exude a premium feel. TIL states that if well cared for, leather ages gracefully and is an outright winner over fabric for all the good reasons.

The firm claims that leather outlasts fabric by at least 10 years. It is very durable, and offers comfort throughout the year and is easy to care for. The brownie points that come with the use of leather is that it spells class, emphasises the company.

TIL has offered a few tips to car owners to keep their seats new as ever for years. The company states that car owners need to spray antiseptic, diluted in water each month on leather seats to keep fungus at bay.

Wiping the seats regularly with a clean, soft piece of cloth helps retain their sheen. Just the way we need air, your car needs ventilation, too, opines the company. Leather is a natural material that needs to breathe to stay young and fresh. 

The last tip that TIL gives to discerning customers who prefer leather over fabric is they should ensure repetition of these steps regularly and consider vacuuming the upholstery occasionally. Leather ages with time, but these simple tips help it to age gracefully.
