That's what I would have thought, but it is not true.  A couple of years ago
I used it to clean the carpets and two jump seats which looked like they had
served in a shuttle vehicle at a fossil power plant.  The seat covers were
removed and machine washed and the carpet was done by hand.  Both came out squeaky
clean with no deleterious effects whatsoever.

Ah, the wonders of modern chemistry in both the formulation of Castrol Super
Clean and the fibers of car upholstery.
