cloth seats cleaning

[pentiumx]

Can I get some suggestions to safely clean the original cloth inserts on my bucket seats, without damaging them? I fear scrubbing them or using a harsh cleaner.

I don't have any first hand experience doing that, however I used to watch a YouTube channel where a guy repaired, and cleaned up and detailed flip cars for a little used car lot he runs.  His channel is "Wierd Beard".
He used one of these to clean cloth upholstery, and it was amazing how using one of these and some elbow grease would transform the filthiest most disgusting looking seats you can imagine into looking immaculate.

You can search through YouTube to find some of his flip car's refurbishment videos to see him use the cleaner machine. It's like cleaning carpet.
Mike hasn't been dropping any new videos for a while, I hope he's OK!

In the US, Bissell makes these small portable carpet cleaning machines, they work great on auto interiors.  They market them as pet cleanup (we have cats and harfed-up hairballs) but they work great in many small cloth cleaning application, like chairs, auto carpet, couches, drapes, etc.

Aside from this, just a mild soap, water, rags and a scrub brush will work in most upholstery cleaning applications.
