What do people use to clean out the perforations in leather seats?

I have a 2007 E class with the leather seats that have little pinholes or perforations in them. My kids generally use my back seat as their private cafeteria and playroom. I vaccumed but there are small bits of sand, food, etc that are stuck in some of the pinholes. Any suggestions on how to open those up?

Easy, use a vacuum with at least 2.0HP, I have a small wet dry vac. Use the wan attachment, and it sucks my perforated seats clean.

Leather Master™ Foam Cleaner - the advantage of foam over liquid is the minimum amount of moisture, very important for cleaning absorbent and moisture sensitive (Aniline, including perforated) finished or non-finished leathers.Foam doesn't get lodged in the perforations, avoiding the use of toothpicks for removal. Leather Master™ Foam Cleaner is a solvent free pump action product, which is extremely efficient for the cleaning of general soiling and water based stains.

For deep cleaning foam cleaner is the most effective way of getting a thorough clean on leather. The foam allows the cleaner dwell time so that the dirt can be lifted more easily. The foam holds the dirt in suspension, avoiding the possibility of being simply pushed around or being re-deposited on the surface.
