In for answers too, since I apparently need to clean my seats according to TheBlade.

I have used a steam cleaner in the past with a cloth seat cleaner soap that came with the car from the dealer..

Warm water and a microfiber towel every once in a while. My seats don't get too dirty so I don't find my self cleaning them often. Would like to get some other options though.

i purchased a bissell lil green steam machine at wal-mart for kinda cheap. i use it with chemical guys Upholstery cleaner. works awesome, but door panels i use a scrub brush then suck the water off with the green machine, since i dont want to really hose all the lock and window controls.

A lint roller works great on the seats and the material on the doors.

I use adams interior cloth upholstery cleaner for most fabrics as for the door panels I use 1z einzett premium cockpit cleaner. Brings everything back to new appearing without that nasty glossy slick feeling.

If you mess them up too badly, or just don't like cleaning things - I have a set of the front door inserts and a new set of rear seats you can have for next to nothing.
