Alcantara Cleaning Help

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.

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