Default cleaning recaros

i am planning to put recaro millenium seats in my car that has been sitting in my basement for a while. the bad thing is that is just a little bit dirty and need some cleaning. i believe this seat is fabric or alcantara. but my question is would steam cleaning be better than going to to get some spray from the store? im afraid that if i use some type of spray bought from the store will do more harm then good. i've never done steam cleaning before so i don't know how the outcome is? is it really good? i know a local place that does steam cleaning for interiors. well here is what the seat looks like. you can't notice, but the middle is a bit dirty.

Do you know anyone with a kirby vaccum and a spray gun attatchment? because the kirby soap is safe for anything and it wont soak through to the foam because it itself is just foam, ugh i sound like i still work for them, but i bought some dirty dirty seats out of a wrecking yard and used this attachment, i sprayed them down with foam and then i let them dry, then i vaccumed the dirt that rose out of the material, very easy and very effective. this is safe for that utrasuede that you are talking about that those seats are made with alcantra. avoid thngs that you need to scrub them with, if they are just dusty than use a shop vac. but to clean them use some kind of upolstry shampooer. (sorry for the bad spelling everywhere)

you dont want to use like a normal shampooer, just a foam type shampooer otherwise it will soak the foam and then the **** hits the fan. foam, kirby foam, it smells of fresh oranges.
