A big ass washer Machine. jk, I think there's different types of cleaner products you can purchase at your local autoshop (kragen/ autozone).

1. Vacuum the seats really good before starting
2. Get a bucket of water and some rags
3. Dampen down the seat with a moist rag
4. Mix woolite with water at around a 6:1 ratio in a spray bottle
5. Lightly spray the woolite mixture onto the seats and work it in till you get a nice lather on top
6. Work the lather around on the seats, especially in more soiled areas
7. Wipe lather away with a damp cloth

Repeat steps 4-7 as necessary

8. Vacuum all moisture from the seats when done then allow time for them to completely dry

REMEMBER! Change the water very often. You do not want to use dirty water, that will not make it any easier.

I just worked it in by hand. Massaging the lather on it, then wiping it off and repeating. But mine never really get noticeably dirty, I just do it as a general maintenance every now and then.

I would highly recommend against scrubbing it hard or with anything even halfway aggressive. If necessary, use an extremely soft bristled brush and work it lightly. Alcantara is very sensitive, you don't want to rough it up.
