Default Cloth Cleaner

What cleaner do you guys use on your cloth interiors? I saw on another thread someone uses household upholstery cleaners, sounds good to me. But just for more info what products do you use?

I used a rental steam cleaner. Pretty happy with the results.

Lexol for leather, a microfiber cloth and a spray bottle of water for the sunroof. The latter may prompt you to do your entire headliner though.

we use wurth cleaners on all our bmws, its German and its expensive and im not sure where you can locate it, but it works great, and they do have an upholstery cleaner, thats what i used, but a steam cleaner may work better, i never compared them.
