Cleanser for white seats

[luojiesi]

I have a 2018 model x with white interior. Previously I have been using 91% alcohol to clean the seats. They worked reasonably well. Although I still got some yellow black ish stains. Today I'm trying to find some new ways to clean them. Surprisingly I found out that the official cleaning webpage from Tesla now suggests never to use alcohol. I remember pretty well that the owners manual recommended alcohol. Which one should I believe? Any cleanser that worked great for others?

I don't have white seats, so don't take this as gospel, but I've also seen posts that you should use something as strong as 91% alcohol - thats really strong stuff. I've seen people recommend water or baby wipes. I'm sure you'll get more feedback.

Spray Simple Green on a microfiber towel, wipe seat, use another towel to dry. Don't soak it, just a spritz or two. Best to do this regularly instead of waiting for the filth to build up.

I use Optimum No Rinse (ONR) on the seats (cream for model X, white for model 3). And on the glass. And on the paint. I have heard multiple detailers give me this little secret of theirs, and I always pretend they were the first to suggest it.

I realize I'm replying to myself, but I screwed up that first sentence - I've seen posts that you should NOT use something like 91% alcohol. Sorry.

I've also used Simple Green and it seems to work really well without causing any problems; not greasy or smelly.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll try both simple green and onr and see how they work out.

Used a soft drill brush at the weekend, on slow with castile liquid soap and water. It did amazingly on everything except some blue from jeans. Didn’t even realize the seats were so dirty, they’re back to bright white like new.

I've used dawn soap and warm water and it worked on removing blue jean transfer.
It somewhat worked on seat belt transfer. Anyone have suggestions?
