Warm water and a microfiber cloth. Give them a quick wipe down once a week or so.

I wear jeans 90% of the time, no staining or marks and the car is a 1.5 years old daily driver.

Still looks as new as it did on delivery day.

Gtechnique leatherguard or a leather coating will aide in keeping things clean, from there just a warm towel wipedown should suffice

Let it "bake" in the sun with Leatherique. Kind of a hassle as the conditioner evaporates from the leather, condenses on the windows, and forms streaks which will require a lot of wiping away. Expect a full day of the car sitting outside and an hour or so wiping away residue. Works just as well as steam-cleaning.

+1 for Gtechniq Leather Guard after this.
