How do you clean leatherette?
So I've got a 1 and 3 year old in the back of my Clubman and as you parents know, these guys have no regard for "new cars" and will spill their milk, juice, etc anywhere and everywhere...which is why I'm so happy with my leatherette since I hear it's ultra low maintenance. So that being said, what are folks using to clean their leatherette seats?

You will be better off in the Detailing101 section but leatherette are vinyl seats..so just use any vinyl cleaner. I've had good results using Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer for cleaning. A similar and more economical solution is Meguiar's Professional APC + which is diluted with water.
Course I had a seat protector (designed to prevent damage to my seats) under my child seat so that caught most of the food/drinks that spilled.

Along these lines, I just got both of these from Amazon and love them so far, very helpful. I also have a 1 and 3 year old so I know the pain of cleaning the inside. Anyway, check these out, cheap and so far very helpful!

I actually have seat protector mats under both my car seats, but my kids have a way of finding unprotected portions between seats, etc and find a way to spill stuff in there. = )
I use 303 aerospace protectant for all vinyl surfaces on the car. This stuff doesn't have a glossy finish and chemicals that actually harm vinyl and plastic like ArmorAll, and it actually protects against UV rays.
I do a quick spray with 1Z (or any) plastic/vinyl cleaner then condition (every 6 months - 1 year). In between I just wipe down with a cloth and/or vacuum any dirt in the seams.
