Woolite on interiors - questions

[Kimo]

Hey everyone. I did a little work on my leather seats this weekend and I have a question about using woolite.

I was using it 5:1 or 6:1 and noticed I get white suds when I spray and then rub with a terry towel. If I use a brush I get a LOT. I wiped with a wet towl and STILL got suds.

Do you all have the same experience? Is my solution too strong? I feel like I should hose out my interior now J/k

Help me out. Thanks!

1. It is 1 part Woolite to 6 parts water for my use. Just wanted to make sure you didn't reverse the ratio.
2. I spray a fine mist on the area to be cleaned and wipe it with a terry towel. No suds at all.
3. I wipe that area with another damp terry towel to remove any soap residue. Again, no suds.
4. I have never used a brush.
5. It's GM coated leather. (Pontiac)
6. I do it weekly if that would make any difference.:dunno
7. I use 4 Star Leather Conditioner monthly and 303 Protectant weekly.

So, in my case I'm cleaning protected leather fairly regularly that probably isn't very dirty. Maybe more dirt creates more suds.

I'm sure I've heard some say they use the 6:1 ratio when cleaning fabric and that they move to 10:1 when cleaning leather/vinyl
