What to use on Alcantara?
#3
As a general rule when cleaning Nubuck, Alcantara ®, Ecsaine, etc you should only to use products specifically designed for this type of fabric. Avoid using a product designed for cleaning leather. It's also important to do a patch test before cleaning any fabric to make sure the colour or integrity of the fabric won't be damaged. To do this, apply your cleaning product to an area that doesn't show to see what the effect will be.
Leather Master™ Nubuck Protection (N-Nubuck / Alcantara®) Repellence, resists soiling and helps protect against both water and oil based stains
Identifying characteristics- very soft to the touch will scratch or scuff very easily; water drops will darken the leather but it returns to its original colour after drying.
(LM) Products made specifically for Nubuck (Alcantara®) leather
• Cleaning Pad Cleans refreshes and revitalises Nubuck, brushed aniline and suede leather without the need for additional liquids or chemicals. At the same time it will restore the nap (surface appearance) of the leather to its' original look.
• Foam Cleaner is a mild solvent product, which is extremely efficient for the cleaning of general soiling and water based stains.
• Always pre-test the product on a hidden area.
• Protection helps to protect suede and Nubuck leather against stains from drinks and food; it also makes the leather easier to clean.

Autoglym Interior Shampoo/Cleaner works like a charm. It will safely clean the alcantara, carpets, upholstery, and plastics in the interior. For alcantara, simply spray on a clean microfiber towel, then wipe the alcantara clean. You could also spray directly on the alcantara if you're doing the seats, then agitate with a soft bristle brush, then wipe off with microfiber towel. This is one of those products I could not do without and have been using it since 1995.
