How do you clean you ventilated leather seats?

Just want to see how you guys clean your ventilated seats. What products do you use?

My KO seats are starting to get dirty, but I'm not too comfortable using my normal leather seat cleaning process, kinda afraid too much liquid would get into the holes.

I bought a tube of Sonax Alcantara foam (which I think I could just apply some on a brush and brush away?).

I used to use Lexol [Leather Cleaner (Step 1)], and Chemical guys [Leather quick detailer spray, Leather Conditioner cream, and interior wipes], but I keep hearing from people with nicer cars to avoid CG.

Lightly apply a foaming product & use a brush to gently work it in, then use a microfiber cloth to remove it. Have a toothpick handy but don't go too deep!

This, and apply the product to the brush, not to the seat directly.
