My first step would be to use a plain water dampened microfiber towel. I assume the material color is something other than black or charcoal. My interior is black, but I clean them often because I drive withthe windows down alot.

If the water does no clean it, you could use a product called "Teddy Bear" cleaner. I've used it on the cloth seats of my p/u and my daughters Honda (1999). It cleans extremely well without any negative effects that I have been able to detect. I will jot down the mfg later today.

The Teddy Bear Cleaner is made by Siege Chemical. I don't recall where I bought it from; probably Target or Walmart. I've also used this on my drivers' side floor mat.

There are products from Meguiars, and others I'm sure, but I have never used them.
