Alcantara seat maintenance

Just wondering how do you guys clean your alcantara/leather seats. I don't mean cleaning as in removing stain but general cleaning.
I just vacuum the seat and then use damp cloth to wipe all the surface from dust. Damp cloth won't damage the seat in long run right?
Do we need to use any leather treatment or the like to keep the seats looking new?

on the leather it wouldnt hurt to use some leather treatment. Otherwise vacuum and damp cloth is fine.
