Tried a search but couldn't find anything but I know I saw a thread about this before.

My friend just bought a set of ITR seats and he wants to clean them before putting them in the car. What's the best/safe method to clean the Alcantra?

Thanks.

 

this has been covered many times and is probably in the frequently asked questions, but here's the alcantra site.

I find that VERY difficult to believe.

I just did a search on all archived topics in the ITR forum with the word "seats" in the title. It returned 33 topics, and two of the titles were about cleaning the ITR seats...

 

Forgot about the archive. Used the current and all I saw were some Corbeau seats. Thanks for the info though.

 

so does everyone pretty much agree, diluted woolite is the way to go?

yes. diluted woolite (6:1 water:woolite ratio) will work very well. work solution into fabric till a light lather. then wipe off with damp cloth several times to remove woolite.

kepani-who likes the woolite smell.

 

How about the armrest, mine's disgusting. Would a nice suede cleaner do the trick? (and yes, I'm aware that the seats are alcantra).

use the woolite solution as well.

probably first wipe it down with a damp cloth to get the less embedded dirt and grime off. then use the woolite solution. then wipe off with damp microfiber towels.

kepani-who doesn't have an armrest to worry about.

Sounds good, thanks

 

I dont know how dirty you guys get your seats but im **** with my car. No drinks, food, etc in my car. Lint from clothes seems to be the only thing that "dirty" my seats. I simply vacuum away, then they are brand new again.
