What are some good upholstery cleaner products ? Took delivery of this 2023 RX350h a few months ago. Somewhere during the daily usage, a dirt mark or stain has appeared on the front passenger seat. Something water is not lifting. Apparently, something we tracked into the interior just recently.
Looking for some safe products to consider for cleaning the white seat upholstery.
Thank you in advance,

Do you have the Luxury trim level, is the stain in the alcantara bolster or on the leather surface? Or is your car a different trim level?

White? Is your interior color birch?

For leather, Lexol or Meguiars products should do the job, they have been around for a long time.

Alcantara is a different thing, if you have the Luxury trim and the stain is in the bolster section - be careful. Buy a cleaner designed for it, don't scrub it too hard, consider a boars hair brush. Example product, see application photos:

Try some Woolite mixed with distilled water. I've been doing this for many years.

Good old school "those in the know" type trick. It's gentle and minimal -- all you need to clean stuff. All purpose.

People overthink and overpurchase car care products.

In fact mostly what I use on my interiors? Just distilled water. Or heck tap is fine too. but i have distilled ready for my other detailing stuff.

Wow! We think and do things alike, lol lol.

Sorry for the delay responding. Vehicle is the Premium Plus Trim level, Interior is the 'white' Macadamia leather and Ash Bamboo trim. The 'stain' is on the raised side section about half an inch up from the seam for the flat seat section. Does that help ?.

Sorry for the delay responding. Appreciate the suggestion on using Woollite. I'll get some and give it a go..

We have ivory interior on our GS450h and I'm trying out Geist to minimise any colour transfer to the leather.

For cleaning the interior I usually use a concentrated dilution of rinseless wash and put this in a spray bottle. Safe on window tints / no streaks, leathers and touchscreen etc. It removes body oils from fingers and sweats. The leather will keep the natural matt colour once the human body oils comes out of the leather.
