I would suggest Adam's Polishes Carpet and Upholstry Cleaner. Used it on some black stains on red Brides with a microfiber towel to scrub and another to whipe it clean. Stains were where the seat belts rest against the seat which I'm assuming was from dirty hands rubbing on the belt.

i've proved otherwise ;-) see my post of how-to...

Was just looking up the 303 fabric guard and came across a thread with this.

"Thank you for contacting Gold Eagle Co. We do not recommend using our 303® Fabric Guard or any 303® product for Alcantara, as the products do not bond well with that type of material. If you have questions, please contact us."

Thanks,

here's my how-to apply fab protector and spilled hot coffee test: https://www.civicx.com/threads/ctr-seat-protection-how-to-with-303-fab-protector.24687/

to clean, i wouldn't use any kind of chemical cleaner. simply put a few drops of dishwashing soap in a cup of water and use a toothbrush to agitate the spot and brush in one direction. it's no different than cleaning suede leather shoes the proper way with light soap and water. follow up with a toothbrush with just water then wipe dry with mf towel.

I dont think it is suede but rather faux suede.

and since we are talking about seats, I have the seat back rest cushion if anyone needs it for any reason for sale. Carry on :)

Personally I wouldn't want to add chemicals to my car if I don't have to, just on the off chance that it might get dirty. If it gets dirty, I'll clean it then with soap and water.

The back seats, on the other hand, I want to get some Wet Okole seat covers for, when they start making them. The kids sit back there and that neoprene is so easy to clean. As of now, they don't have anything for our rear seat, but I spoke with them and they're working on it.
Any timeframe on the Okole seat covers? Are they working on front too or rear only?

Although my seats are still spotless I protected the front Alcantara seats with this:

https://www.chemicalguys.com/Fabric_Guard_16_oz_p/spi_210_16.htm

For the carpet and back seats and cargo area I used a 3M scotchguard fabric protection spray. Reason why I didn't use the Chemical Guys products on the whole car is because I didn't have any of it but had PLENTY of the 3M fabric protectant.
