Just acquired some USDM ITRs and was wondering what you guys have used to clean your seats w/o messing the fabric up? Thanks!

 

Basically just soap and water.

Do a search in the archives, this has been covered quite a few times before

My ***.

Seriously, I just vacuum them and they are fine.

 

i have yet to find anything that removes *** stains lol

 

I have yet to use soap or any wet/damp cleaner on them, I just vaccuum and then take a brush to them.

 

make sure nobody hs keys in their back pocket and sits down on the seat. my friend did that and nipped some threads I had to melt the threads to keep it from spreading (thanks for the advice austin) but now there a tiny showing of the material under the black threads.

Good advice. The same goes for the floor mats, the ribs on the bottom of them is good for the same thing. I had to melt a few pulled threads myself until I figured out what was causing it.

 

I never had to clean them, I just used to vaccuum them,,, And now they ain't there anymore... Well, at least 3 of the 4...

 

i use a thing call "SPOT IT" is a big orange bottle... use to clean carpet..
works great on seat

 

if you search, I think yoshi posted a link up to the actual alcantra site.

They said to use only mild soap and water.

 

Thanks! i found the alcantara link. Very helpful! ITR seats look brand new now

 

alcantara i thought they where swade. my alcantara in my s4 feals much thicker then the itr seats. ohhh well good to know.

p.s. i just vacume it and its fine

 

I went to Wilson's leather and bought a swede cleaning kit for $13, it cleaned up my seats good.

 

To keep my suede in tact, I used a suede stone. It really made a difference. Just don't let the stone come in contact with the woven areas.

Vacuum it as always but if anything is more stubborn, just water.

I didn't say I've done it recently...
And not cheap, but on sale..

 

Tuff Stuff bought from the local wal-mart, spray it on a damp cloth, and rub gently, works well for me. Then I use use some suede/nubuck conditioner spray to keep it moisturized since the water and detergent can dry it out.
