Owning a golf cart in Franklin, Brentwood, Leiper’s Fork, or greater Nashville means enjoying convenience, fun, and freedom—whether you’re cruising the neighborhood, heading to the golf course, or driving to community events. With golf carts becoming a lifestyle staple in communities like Westhaven, McKay’s Mill, and The Grove, keeping your cart looking its best is essential.

One of the most overlooked but most important maintenance tasks? Cleaning your golf cart seats.

At Cart Mart – Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee, we know that well-maintained seats not only keep your cart comfortable but also preserve its value and appeal. Here’s how to do it right.

Why Clean Golf Cart Seats Regularly?

Your golf cart is more than just a vehicle—it’s part of your lifestyle. Whether you’re taking the kids to the pool in Fieldstone Farms, driving around Downtown Franklin, or hitting the golf course in Brentwood, clean seats make every ride more enjoyable. Regular maintenance also:

Extends the life of your upholstery
Prevents mold, mildew, and sun damage
Keeps your cart inviting for family and guests
Protects resale value if you upgrade down the road

Step 1: Gather the Right Supplies

Skip the harsh chemicals that can damage your upholstery. Instead, stock up on:

Mild soap or upholstery cleaner
Sponge or microfiber cloths
Soft-bristle brush
Mold and mildew remover
Magic Eraser (for tough stains)

Step 2: Spray & Scrub

Spray seats with a mold and mildew remover, focusing on seams and corners. Let it soak for 5–10 minutes, then scrub lightly with a soft brush. Remember—gentle pressure prevents scratches and damage.

Step 3: Wipe It Down

Use a microfiber cloth to remove dirt and residue. For stubborn stains, repeat the process or use a Magic Eraser in light circular motions. Finish by wiping everything clean.

Step 4: Don’t Forget Seat Covers

Seat covers add protection and style, especially if you’re driving through Leiper’s Fork backroads or parking outdoors in Westhaven. Clean them regularly, repair small tears, and replace them as needed to keep your seats in top condition.

Pro Tip: Preventative Care

Middle Tennessee weather can be tough on golf carts, so preventative steps go a long way:

Vacuum seats regularly to remove dirt
Park in a garage or use a protective cover
Use seat protectors in wet or muddy conditions
