they say to stay away from stuff with bleach....will damage the leather....Isopropyl alcohol, is the way to go. Believe it has to be 70% strength and higher

Agree with flames9. Use isopropyl alcohol greater than 70%. I think 99% is best. Use cotton cloth so it won't disintegrate like a paper towel. I am doing the same on our 2020 XC60.

70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
a) Requires a 5 minute dwell time to effectively kill viruses

I mention that, as I read that if you use too high a % of alcohol, it will evaporate way too fast to actually kill the Covid Virus, thats why they recommend 70% https://www.rutgers.edu/news/best-wa...irus-your-home
