Hey, Dave:

It is non-toxic, biodegradable cleaner invented as a degreaser.  I often
just scrub the seat material first thing in the spring to take out any
"funk" from sitting all winter.  Just put the Simple Green in a bucket of
hot water and go to town.  I wipe down all the cabinets and upholstery.

Find it here:  http://www.simplegreen.com/
