I have the leather ventilated seats. I put a seat protector for the rear which did great for my dog’s puke. But when I left her in the car, she jumped to my uncovered front seat. Now I have a bit of dog puke stuck in tiny holes. Is that something I’ll have to take to a detailer? I’m hoping for an easy diy trick.

I've never found a great way to do it, but generally, I can take a soft-bristled brush and sort of tap at the seat and the holes. You'll move stuff around and down into the holes. Then I used a strong vacuum to suck up what I dislodged into the little holes. Granted some of the debris ends up permanently down in the seat, but I feel like I get most of it. At least it's not visible anymore! Ha!
I agree with this. you may want to get a few detailer brushes. they'll be soft enough to not damage the leather but enough to clean the stains. I also very much recommend just biting the bullet and getting a good leather cleaner and conditioner. Lexol is what I use in my car. but yeah, break it up with the brush, try to vacuum out the bits. then clean with the leather cleaner, and condition it after.
I use Fabreze on the mess to wet and de stink, then suck it up with the wet Vac.

What I have done over the years is...
Take a sponge, Micro fiber towel, 100% cotton towel, and very hot to warm water, put a couple of squirts of either hair shampoo or Palmolive dish soap, which has no detergent in it,, Ring the towel out, or etc, extremely well, and then wipe the seat down. Concentrating on the heavy touch areas.
I Then going back with a well rung damp towel, no soap, and wipe it down again, letting it air dry.
I do this every other week, or when I get bored.
I include the Steering Wheel also in this bathing routine.

After having owned numerous cars with leather ventilated seats and participating in car shows..... I have found the following to be the best process: first try "sucking it all out" with a shop vac.....then for those that are still clogged, get a "sewing needle" and gently push it into the vent hole ( that will loosen the junk ) then hit again with the vac. Finally....I have found that the leather cleaner sold by "Griots Garage" (online ) is the absolute best. Use that to clean any and all off the leather, and THEN use Griot's leather conditioner and the bottom line will be that the leather will look and smell like new!!!
