General stains can be wiped off with wet wipes, and stubborn stains can be treated with detergent and alcohol. It has strong anti-fouling performance, and stains can be wiped clean, which is very convenient to clean.
  • Strong durability: Silicone leather is wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, aging-resistant, and has a long service life. It has excellent weather resistance, hydrolysis resistance and light resistance, which allows silicone leather seat cushions to maintain stable performance in extreme environments.
  • Good breathability: Compared with traditional leather, silicone leather is more breathable. Cushions made of silicone leather will not feel stuffy in summer.
