I have been trying to look for product to clean the alcantara seat (for the non-leather portion).

Can't find. The alcantara website says 'use luke-warm water' to wipe is sufficient. But i am looking for a product, that after cleaning will leave a fresh odour lingering in the cabin one.

Can't find.

how much is it??

I got the it at Giant Tampines last weekend...cost $19.90

Spray then wipe with damp cloth, let it rest 5~10mins, then wipe with damp cloth again..then allow to dry....

Preferably do it if u are not going out for the dy as it took quite a while to really dry....if not backside will be wet....

Kum Sia All...

I did read a thread ( somewhat lost it ) saying there's a company who's specialized in this cleaning of alcantra seat. Thot of outsourcing, too lazy.

Homefix DIY shop selling Leatherman Nubuck cleaning kit around SGD65 I think. I got mine from there. Comes with degreaser, cleaner and protector. Nubuck = Alcantara. Using that to clean my exposed Alcantara leather (I went to carbaby to buy covers for my seats). Just to hijack this thread abit, can anyone recommend a dashboard cleaner? Not sure what to use for the wood part as well as the rest of the dashboard.

I just bought armour all leather conditioner. Use it only on the leather area. I used it 2 times like not much visual effect leh...

The sonax product, is it one product for use on the whole seat? Cos alcantara got 2 materials.

I tried Sonax before, remembered the odour not very nice. Then i tried Turtle brand upholstery cleaner. Can buy at  most petrol kiosk or Giant i think. It didnt say it is meant for  Alcantara, but it works fine. My seat so far still ok. Use it like once every few months.
