When this happens, the small fibers that make up the soft, velvety texture become matted and begin to lay flat. Alcantara combines a soft, enveloping quality with high wear resistance and incredible ease of maintenance, providing that appropriate cleaning methods and products are used.

It shares many of the same characteristics of natural suede, but rather than coming from a cow hide, Alcantara is made from a blend of polyester and polyamide (the same materials that make up microfiber towels).

One application if this stuff and the stain disappeared, plus the chocolate stain which I I may or may not have been responsible for.
