If the upholstery is not removable it is possible to clean Alcantara, by using specific products (Fenice, James, Perrone).
If such products are not available, please follow these instructions:
Dust the material with care.
Moisten a soft cloth or a sponge in clean water, wring it thoroughly, and run it over the whole Alcantara material, making sure not to wet it excessively.
Rinse the cloth or sponge and repeat as necessary. Leave to dry overnight.
Once dried, in order to restore the material, brush it delicately with a soft bristle brush.

Alcantara stain removal guide
Basic essentials
Act immediately. Begin treating the stain from the outside edge into the center in order to avoid the stain from spreading.
Never pour a cleaning product directly onto Alcantara.
Before removing the stain, remove any of the substance that has fallen on the upholstery. If it’s thick such as yogurt or jam use a spoon or a plastic spatula, for liquids, use non-printed absorbent paper or a sponge.
Avoid rubbing to prevent the stain from spreading or going deep into the material.
Use a white cloth for the removal of the stain.
