Some simple soap and water will do the trick.

in a lot of these posts and in the links, people always refer to "mild soap".

"mild soap" = woolite

it's a gentle fabric detergent and will not harm the fabric.

Amen. I recently acquired a set of JDM Recaros that looked like they came from Japan in the oil pit of a trans-oceanic freighter.

Lots of warm water woolite, lots of warm water rinse, a wet-dry vac, and a suede brush and they look... well, they look better!

Just as an FYI in light of all the "suede talk" in this thread, keep in mind that the fabric on the ITR seats is not suede, it's a synthetic fabric called Alcantara.
