Use a specific automotive upholstery cleaner I can recommend Meguiar's it is very good though you would be better using it alongside a wet vac.

I can vouch for the Meg's stuff. It worked a treat on my old Fabia's white seats.

It comes undiluted you dilute it according to what you require it can be used in a spray or in a wet vac depending how grubby the seats are you may be better using it both ways a good spray and scrub with an upholstery sponge do not use a brush especially on "ultraviolet's" if you don't have one a microfibre is fine just don't use a brush then if you have one use the wet vac this will suck out any dirt along with the cleaner.It may take a couple of go's be patient it's not a job to do in a rush if you want it right :thumbleft:

Specific upholstery brushes will be fine, or a shoe polishing brush which is absolutely the exact same thing, can be had for a quid in your local supermarket! As long as the bristles are soft, it'll be fine giving em a light scrub.

Prochem Crystal Green provides excellent results on carpets and upholstery. One tub will last you more than long enough as it is quite concentrated. I use it in a Numatic George.

Cant comment about the Meg's stuff....but I used this on my Golf Recaro's, they were covered in mould and filthy after being sat a while, spray it on, leave a few mins, use the cap/brush to rub it in, leave a few more mins, hoover off. used on seats, carpet, door cards, plastics, pretty much used it on the whole interior of my Golf...
