How do you clean Recaro seats? I know if you get the leather wet it won't be as soft.

Probably the same way suede is cleaned. At least I think they are made of suede or a suede-like material.

recaros aren't leather they are suede/alcontera. I just use a very slightly wet rag and brush off the dust or I use suede cleaner.

 

Quick n' Brite!

- Extensive soiling or spots may require the entire cover to be washed.

- Removable covers: Removable Alcantara® covers are very easy to clean, and can be safely washed with water in the washing machine set at 30º. To maintain the original freshness of the fabric, brush it with a soft brush once it has been washed. If the upholstery is fitted with Velcro, cover each piece with a Velcro cover.

- Non-removable covers: Non-removable Alcantara® covers can be cleaned with soap and water. Avoid using solvents (particularly perchloroethyene and trichlorethylene) and contact with steam cleaners. The use of "spray extraction" upholstery cleaners is acceptable at low temperatures.

In the case of persistent stains, there are only a few simple steps to follow to return Alcantara to its original beauty.

- Treat fresh stains immediately, working at the stain towards the center to avoid spreading and watermarks.

- Remove as much of the staining material as possible with a knife or spoon. Dab immediately with a clean cloth.

- Treat each stain according to the method recommended.

- The area immediately surrounding the stain should be dabbed gently with a clean sponge or paper towel.

- In any case, it is absolutely necessary to rinse the area very well to remove any traces of detergent.

- It is important not to scrub the stain, as too much force could cause irreversible alterations to the fabric's surface.
