Cleaning alcantara shift boot

I have the mperformance shift knob and ebrake handle which comes with alcantara. What is the best way to clean this without damaging the alcantara material?

You can use a lint roller to get dust and stuff off of the alacantara.

Something like this:

Bristle brush with little water and Woolite will get most oils and light dirt out. the soft brush is what restores the raised hairs of the Alcantara back to new looking.
