Best way to clean cloth seats?
Hi all,
I have an 's' with cloth seats (heated) and wanted to give them a good clean. What is the best way without damaging the heated elements, are these things fragile?
Regards

Autoglym spray on upholstery cleaner.....light spray then wipe off with a damp cloth. Cleaned the cloth seats in my old D1 like magic.......but JKP will be along shortly with a better answer.
And what you do at home is up to you Club RLD spare wheel protection
Club RLD skid plate
Club its all black
Club D3 - it's gone
Club D4 - just arrived and still all black

...so it's either a good scrub or Autoglym and wipe.
Does JKP do this for a living, what does he suggest?

Best bet is JKP by far!
Just tell him what you want to achieve, he'll recommend suitable products and dispatch them to you.
That way you'll get the right stuff that's suited to your vehicle and needs rather than buying blindly in the likes of Halfords.
Remember some cleaning products can be high in spirit and remove colour as it removes stains - you don't want that!!
I've just explained my needs to John [JKP] and he's given me his best recommendation.
My order for leather treatment pack [for my Alpaca] is now paid and with him.
Oh, and you're supporting a fellow forum member and site sponsor.

Les, good to chat with you today, I hopefully helped with a bit info.
As a side issue I can supply a foam spray that can be used safely on fabric seats to remove dirt, stains and will not damage any of the seats inners such as heating elements.
I can supply this to any Uk postcode for £8 delivered. If anyone would like one them please PM me for payment details.

Thanks for the advice JKP, I took you advice and got some foam, if I had more time I would have bought it from you, sorry...
But they have come up a treat

Glad you got it sorted Les
That stuff is ideal to give a quick clean every couple of months to keep on top of it
