No need to worry...you're not sitting on suede. You are sitting on Alcantara, which is a composite blend of around 70% polyester and about 30% polyurethane (yes, you heard right - polyurethane). It is a synthetic blend meant to simulate suede but is partly plastic. According to Alcantara's website, they recommend a soft brush for regular maintenance, followed by a damp micro-fiber towel (no cleaning agents).
