Clean alcentera?

How do you clean your alcentera seats?

Can be as simple as a damp cloth. See this link for more details.

I asked the same question once I got my RS3 in. There are various ways you can clean alcantara, but for me I settled on Sonax's upholstery & alcantara cleaner. It is easy to use and has given me solid results. Just make sure you have a couple clean micro fiber buffing towels. I use one to apply the product, and another to dry it off.

Regardless of the cleaning method you use always try to vacuum clean Alcanatara before cleaning for coarse dirt, and be sure to use a brush or microfiber towel to re-agitate the alcantara fibers when you are done.

I've used magic eraser and it works well also, no damage or discoloration

This is a sticky subject. There are people that love their magic erasers, and those who hate them due to it damaging their car. Too many reports going either way. I am happy to hear you have had success, but there are too many other options that are safer.

OP I would advise staying away from the magic eraser for 2 reasons:

1. Even though the magic eraser feels soft to the touch it is a hard product. Many people report a 3,000-4,000 grit sand paper quality in its removal power wet, and dry with a heavy hand about 800 grit. Just because it feels soft to your fingers and removes a mark/stain doesn't make it soft on the material, and the magic eraser relies on its aggressiveness to remove stains/marks as it lacks chemical additives. I remember when I was a kid it damaged the paint on my parents Honda Odyssey (discoloring in the paint in the area it was used). There are also too many reports for me of people stating the magic eraser stripped the dye in their dash plastic, or damaged their leather seats for me to use one on my car.
2. There are so many products that not only do the job better for things like cleaning alcantara, but they are safer without breaking the bank on them.

Magic Eraser is a last resort for a DIY'er.
