We get it! You take your car everywhere… but you don’t want it to look like you take your car everywhere. Sun. Rain. Slushies and ice creams! Being a part of the adventure means that the car that gets you to all the places you make memories from, also endures the most from life (and all its thrills and spills).
Water-Resistant Seats
What are repellent seat covers?
Waterproof car seat covers or water resistant seat covers are a great idea, especially if some of the hands in your family are little hands. Neoprene has become the go-to solution for its aesthetic and functional purposes. No need to have to endure the discomfort of something that feels like an army tent, just because you want to protect your car seats.
Neoprene is a waterproof material that has a soft and comfortable feel due to the heavy stitching that goes into constructing the material. It’s the same type of material that’s used to make wetsuits which, given how prone your Subaru is to the great outdoors, you might be quite familiar with.
Keeping your waterproof seat covers clean by brushing dirt and wiping spills away immediately will help the longevity of the item, but for a major clean, they’re designed for just that convenience.
How to Keep Water Repellent Seats Clean
How to clean car seat covers?
The great thing about waterproof seat covers is that they are removable, so washing them as often as you need to is a manageable exercise. To clean the car seat cover and padding, either hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle, and then hang or lay flat to air dry to prevent shrinking or damage to the cover and safety labels.
How often should you wash car seat covers?
You’ll hear advice that every two weeks is a good idea, and while we can’t argue with the hygiene value of that, you should decide yourself based on the amount of use, spills and messes you’re dealing with when it comes to your waterproof car seat covers.
We can totally understand wanting to preserve your Subaru in its showroom form, but we also think the best thing to do in it is LIVE. Enjoy the places it takes you and, if there are spills, there are probably even better memories to accompany them. And if you aren’t living the Subaru way of life just yet, you should locate your nearest dealership and booked a test drive.
