PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Cleaning surfaces like alcantara (synthetic suede-like fabric) is tricky as they are dense and thick. Aggressive scrubbing or over-wetting can permanently mat, pill, or lead to hardened fibers. However, with the SONAX Xtreme Upholstery & Alcantara Cleaner (400mL) you get a product specially formulated for these delicate surfaces. It bridges the gap between intense, heavy-duty cleaning power and ultra-mild care needed for sensitive synthetic microfibers. Unlike standard liquid triggers, this product comes in a pressurised aerosol system that ensures precise delivery of the product.What the Product Does
The SONAX Xtreme Upholstery & Alcantara Cleaner does a multi-stage rejuvenating process: cleans, deodorises, and restores soft interior surfaces. It targets embedded dirt, drink stains, grease, and sweat stains, loosening the bond of contaminants in alcantara materials. This makes it safe and easy to scrub off dirt and stains. Beyond the capability to remove stains, it restores the look and feel of the material, preventing the alcantara from getting flattened, hardened, or matted.Key Features
- Advanced Foam-Generating Formula: It consists of a rich advanced foam formula that sits directly on top of the fabric rather than getting soaked deep into the cushions. This breaks down and dissolves dirt, and stains on the surface.
- Alcantara-Safe Chemistry: Its ultra-gentle surfactant nature makes it completely safe for delicate synthetic suede materials like the alcantara surfaces, without melting the fine fibers or recolouring the factory texture. This ensures a balance between heavy cleaning and surface safety.
- Integrated Odour Eradicator: It comes with an odour-neutralizing agent that chemically destroys foul odour within the cabin.
- Colour-Brightening Agents: It contains special optical enhancers that restore the original vibrant colour of faded fabrics.
Benefits
- Preserves the Soft Alcantara Feel: While cleaning the surface of delicate fibers, it protects the incredibly soft and plush nature of these fibers.
- Prevents Fabric Mildew and Over-Wetting: The foam limits deep liquid saturation making it easy and faster to dry up from the surface. You can use your vehicle just a few minutes after applying.
- Leaves a Clean, Fresh Scent: Once applied your cabin not only looks clean, with a luxurious touch to it, but it also smells like luxury. It replaces the cabin atmosphere with a light pleasant scent.
How To Use
- Shake the Can and Apply the Foam: Before applying, ensure the surface is clean and free from all contaminants, then shake the SONAX Xtreme Upholstery & Alcantara Cleaner (400mL) container to mix the cleaning agents. Apply it to a clean microfiber cloth and test it in a small section.
- Agitate the Cleaner Gently: Gently rub the microfiber towel or soft-bristled textile brush across the fabric surface using a circular motion. This helps to lift the trapped dirt or stain from the individual weave fiber.
- Wipe Away the Dirty Residue: After about 2 – 5 minutes, take off the surface using a clean, damp Microfibre towel. This is used to wipe away the emulsified dirt and remaining foam residue.
- Dry and Brush to Restore the Nap: Allow the surface to dry in a well-ventilated area but away from direct sunlight. Once fully dry, brush the surface using a clean textile brush. This helps retire the plush velvety nap of the Alcantara.

This is a very important step that must be carried out properly, as it helps maintain the plush nature of the fiber. After application, you may experience a bit of flattening, or hardening, and as such, the brush helps return the fabric to its original state.
It takes about 2-5 minutes depending on the temperature and humidity. However do not dry under direct sunlight, simply roll down your car windows in a well-ventilated space free from direct sunlight.
Its advanced surfactant formula makes it highly effective for breaking down stubborn grease and oily stains. Just let the foam sit on the stain for about 5 -6 minutes before gently scrubbing it.
Yes. It leaves a nice light fragrances that give your cabin a luxurious atmosphere. It does not mask odour, rather it eliminates the core source of the odour.
