Default Cleaning Alcantara

Hi,

Quick question. Has anyone got any good cleaning tips for the blue alcantara? Have some stains on the passenger seat and have no idea what they are but am not sure how to clean it. Water did not work but am not sure what is safe to use on it?

Thanks

have never cleaned alcantara but normally warm water and washing powder/liquid would be suitable, then rinse/wipe down with clean warm water.
