I think my Recaros have been stained

My passenger side Recaro seat has been stained by alcohol just an hour ago, when I was at a friend's house. Didn't know the passenger in the backseat had her drink in the car and when I slammed the brakes due to the V1 going off, her drink spilled all over my center console and the passenger side of my Recaros, and maybe some spots on the driver's side. The question is, what should I use to clean the suede fabric on the Recaros and the center armrest, which is also suede?

Just a note, I don't EVER normally let people with drinks in my car, it's just that I didn't know the passenger in the backseat had her drink with her, and if I did, I would've told her to put it back.

I am pissed beyond belief.

Probably water and possibly a _very_ weak solution of water and detergent (like dish soap or something). The manual should say as well (and be more definitive) ... just check the back section.

This is just an off-hand guess ... it also matters what kind of alcohol.

Get on that **** soon tho. Water on a rag, scrub/dab, dab dry with another cloth, repeat.

It will come out.

A weak solution of dishwashing detergent in water and a toothbrush will work. But if it is an alcohol stain, it might actually have bleached the fabric...and cleaning will be a lost cause.
