    Seat cleaning

    On my passenger seat I have a nice white colored stain in the middle of the seat and on the black suede part on the side, which looks nasty. Any recommendations on what to use to clean this besides renting a steam cleaner.

    Thanks

    Armor All interior cleaning wipes?

    or

    Armor All upholstery cleaning wipes?


    Very scary if you are using the regular old armor all interior shit... Id never put that on my seats.

    The suede part of our seats gets dirty way too easy... I will have to try the Armor All wipes for upholstery.

    Anyone know if Honda changed the material for the 2004 model? The one in the 2002 is crap IMO.

    Just using the searching thread for cleaning seats and I came across this old thread. I think our seats are alcantra but I can never find cleaners for alcantra, is there another name for it? im seeing alot of people saying suede.
    Also what kinds of specific cleaners have you guys used cause i want to clean my seats.

    first, our seats are a fake suede called alcantara; second, the best way ive heard to clean them is with a steam cleaner. i usually use a wet rag and a blow dryer, works really good!

    I love our seats but suede takes a beating and if you don't stay on top on them they end up all funky and green looking.

    I love the non EP owners on craigslist posting Green Suede EP Seats!

    It's funny but for anyone who has common sense knows Honda never put green suede in anything from the factory.

    Have you tried upholstery shampoo? I've never seen a seat stain that that stuff doesn't remove.
