The Sonax interior car cleaner has a formula that’s been specially designed to clean and restore dirty Alcantara steering wheels or seats. Simply apply the foam-textured formula to your Alcantara steering wheel, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, wipe it off with a microfiber towel, and let it dry for a beautifully clean result. A good rule to follow is that if you are using a cleaner for the first time, even if the label states it is safe for suede or Alcantara, do a small test in inconspicuous place.

The first step to cleaning is assessing the situation. Complete a thorough evaluation of your Alcantara condition to gain an idea of what products will be needed, then we would recommend giving it a good vacuum to remove all excess dirt and dust from the surface. Do not press or grind the fabric as you lather or you may damage (e.g. mat or crush) the nap and force the stain deeper into the fabric. Sounds perfect, right? Almost. Like all other car interior linings, Alcantara will wear away without some due care. Sweat and pressure on the surface will eventually start to dull the material by flattening the fibres - losing some of its grip in the process - so, it’s best to get a hold of the situation early. For genuine leather steering wheels, this Lexol leather conditioner and cleaner kit is a great choice. The kit contains a deep cleaner that lifts dirt and oils effectively, a conditioner, and two handy applicator sponges. As well as steering wheels, it also works well on leather seats.Spray water or your selected cleaner on the detail brush or cloth. Spray the fabric as a last resort. The goal should be to use as little cleaner as possible while cleaning the stain. Using the upholstery tool on your vacuum, gently vacuum the surface to finish the cleaning operation and help the fabric dry. This step also makes the fibers (a.k.a. the nap) stand up like it did when the fabric was new. Blood, egg, excrement, urine, or any protein based substance: use COLD water; avoid warm or hot water because these substances clot and coagulate with heat. This Chemical Guys total interior cleaner is a versatile cleaning product that makes steering wheel cleaning a breeze. It is suitable for a number of surfaces, including leather, vinyl, plastic, carpet, cloth, glass, and even wood. With just a microfiber cloth, all you have to do is simply mist the product on, and wipe it off to reveal a restored, clean surface. Great value and does what is intended,” wrote one happy customer. “Cleans those pesky stains off of the car leather seats... I was also able to apply it to my steering wheel and side door panels.” Specifications

4. Best for Leather Surfaces—Lexol Leather Conditioner and Cleaner Kit

Steering wheels in cars come in a range of different materials including leather, faux leather, Alcantara, plastic, and synthetic resin. Knowing what type of steering wheel you have is the first thing you need to do before deciding on a steering wheel cleaner. By using the lemon juice in conjunction with clean water, which has a neutral pH of 7, you create a solution that is a weak acid, allowing the water to dissolve materials that are not normally soluble in neutral water. And because lemon is considered to be a “natural” product, it is often lumped in as part of a water based cleaning and not listed as a “cleaner.”

Or, you can place a plastic bag filled with ice on top of the gum, and when the gum hardens, remove the brittle pieces followed by cleaning with ethyl alcohol. If the ice takes too long for you, use a can of compressed air instead to freeze the gum faster (make sure it is just air with NO oil in the can!). 3. Lather

Types of Steering Wheels

For cleaning and lathering, a clean, white, cotton terry cloth is also a great choice. Make sure there is no printing or color on your cleaning cloth as the ink or pigment can transfer to your fabrics.
