simple green. Mix about 10-1 in a squirt bottle. spray on wet towel and repeat till stains are gone. Finally take a wet, clean towel and finish.

Any mild soap should work, if your not sure whether the soap will make the fabric fade, try using it on a non visible part of the seat first just in case. Might i suggest Woolite and water.... i use it for my delicate laundry so it should work on the seats. Make sure to wipe the excess off. Hope this helps!

for alcantara you should only be using mild soap and water. That means soap without bleach.

DO NOT use simple green or any chemical on alcantara it is very proned to fading and getting rough.

I also need to clean out my interior, I bought the car dirty as ****. I am planning on looking for a jacket, or shoe suede cleaner. I also wouldn't recomend simple green, the smell will stay in the seat for ever. I once used it to shampoo a guys mini van carpet Opps.

definetly dont use simple green on that fabric. get the suede coat cleaner like stated a couple times already and it should work fine, if not have an upoulstery cleaner (carpet cleaner) do it for you. (get the stains out).
