Default soiled my seats

evening guys and girls. so last night i decided to take the girlfriend out for a meal and the cinema which was all very nice. however after returning home as my lovely girlfriend exited the car i noticed that she had sat on some chocolate coated raisens which had melted themslves into my lovely alcantara seats . so now it looks like someones taken a dump !in the passenger seat! so my next question is whats the best way to clean then

Scrape off the worst, then use a decent upholstery cleaner.
Do it a few times with clean cloths each time, to allow the stuff to enter the cloth and exit the seat.

I would be very wary of using a "cleaning product" on alcantara as
it is easily damaged.

I had cause to remove a stain from my passenger seat recently and
clean warm water and a microfibre cloth worked a treat, using a
dabbing motion.

Put an ice cube first on it to loosen the Er chocolate ( we believe you )
Use a stanly knife blade try ti scrape the top layer off gently

As posted earlier
Dab it with a white cloth
Don't rub as it goes into cloth take another new piece of cloth to the same area untill clean
Once it's off let it dry then you might have to get a stain devil to clean it

I'd be more likely to use a blunt knife, like a dinner knife?

Get it wrong with a Stanley, especially a new blade, you're looking at a new seat

Autobrite upholstery cleaner worked best for me when getting rid of some old stains that wouldn't come off with hot soapy water.

A fitting punishment would be to smear melted chocolate
on her and then post the photos or preferably video here

Raceglaze alcantara cleaner is supposed to be pretty good.
