Blue Jean color rubbing off onto beige leather...

[G Men 08]

My niece just purchased a new car about a month ago. Her drivers seat has a blue tint to it now from her jeans? Any tips on how to remove the blue tint safely, and how to prevent it from happening again?

Try a warm damp microfiber first since its so fresh. If that doesn't work get yourself an all purpose cleaner and dilute it. Something like a tooth brush or dedicated auto detailing brush to agitate and then wipe it clean.

I use a 10:1 mixture of water:Woolite (delicate detergent) to keep all my interior items clean, to include maintenance touch ups on the leather. For more in-depth cleaning, I'd recommend one of the cleaners from Leather Masters. Though, hard to say what you'll specifically need as I'm not certain the type of leather we're discussing in particular. Odds are likely it is top-coated leather that should be able to be cleaned by saturating the area with a MF towel previously soaked in warm water, using a simple cleaning solution like the above and a fingernail (or boar's hair) brush to agitate, then following up with thorough removal by a clean, warm, and wet towel (rinsing and repeating to ensure total removal as necessary).

Leather clean + microfiber cloth.

Nothing you can do to prevent it if you wear jeans as the dye rubs off and shows on the lighter leather.
