MBtex cleaning

Can you use leather cleaner or conditioner on the MBtex, or should something else be used? I have leather seats, but MBtex on dash and doors. The dash is looking a little “dry”.
Thanks in advance.

I use a damp (water) microfiber cloth on MB-Tex seats. Works well.

I keep reading that this is really good for leather interiors, I'm going to buy one and use it myself as well for my MB-Tex.....

I have leather cleaner and conditioner. I just need to know if it's okay to use on MBtex. Or, do I need a vinyl cleaner?

Depends on your cleaner; most will say leather and vinyl cleaner or say in the directions what you can use it on. Consider MBTex vinyl.

I figured it out. It didn't list synthetic leather on the packaging, but does say it on the company website. Thanks to all who offered help.

I've use Vinylex on plastic for years.. Cleans well and doesn't leave it shiny. On leather, I use Lexol Leather Cleaner if its dirty, followed by Weimans Leather Wipes. Avoid soaps and NEVER use saddle soap.

With MBTex, what does using anything but water even do? It's a non-porous synthetic surface. Anything with any kind of conditioner, oil, etc. is just going to rub off on your clothing and skin.

The safest / best cleaner I've used Gtechniq I2 tri-clean - made for use on Mbtex / Artico.

I am really liking the Griots interior cleaner. No smell, no residue. Works perfectly IMO. I use a microfiber cloth.
