Hi all,

I have an unknown stain, left by an ex of mine when they borrowed the car, on the passengars seat. I'm worried about what chemicals I might be able to use to help lift the stain, as water didn't do the trick, without damaging the material. I'll attach a pic of the stain shortly.

Alcantara.com publishes a cleaning and stain removal guide that might help:

https://www.alcantara.com/cleaning-main ... overnight).

In a nutshell, they recommend these three products:

https://www.fenice.care/en/alcantara-specific-products/

https://www.james.eu/en/products

https://www.allleathermaintenance.com/p ... a-cleaner/

And if none of those are available, they recommend water, lemon juice or pure ethyl alcohol (if you can find it without denaturing chemicals). Looks like there are a lot of Alcantara-specific cleaners on Amazon, but I can't personally vouch for any of them...

Not sure if it is available in the US….
They also do an alcantara cleaning brush.

Think the 2sonax products are the same, just different sizes.

I thought that may be the case but the other link didn’t work for me. Sorry
