I used that spraycan carpet cleaner from the grocery store. The top of the bottle is actually a plastic bristled brush. Spray a dab on the area you want to clean, then wipe away with a warm rag. That's what i did, and my recaros are red like yours. goodluck

I got some suede cleaner from Wilson's Leather, and it worked pretty okay. Not brand new but cleaned some of it off.

Shoe suede cleaner if youre scared.

But Yesterday i washed my red CTR Recaros with a gentle fabric cleaner mixed with water. I used a sponge to gently scrub the seats. Then when it dried i sprayed it with the suede cleaner to bring back the softness.

Most carwashes have a foam vac that is suppose to be safe on all fabric and cleans out some impossible stains I have seen first hand. The foam is also HOT to work out the dirt as well, or alteast the good foam vacs are hot foam.

Go to your local parts store and buy a carpet and upholstery cleaner. Turtle Wax makes on called PowerOut and there is a another brand called Blue Coral. They boath spray out as a foam and they come with a soft platic bristel brush. They clean carpet and seats real good and they arent to abrasive.

I just used normal dish washing detergent + warm water and scrubed and dried with a terry cloth.

Came out about 90% looking new again. I first used the meguiars carpet and upholstery clean, although good it didnt get as much stains out as the method I mentioned before.

My seats are the yellow ones btw so it was extra hard to clean!

I heard using Woolite and warm water works really well. Dont soak the seats.

My seats are black so I might try the Woolite Black and see how it works.
