Probably best to wait until you actually have the car before asking questions because it might have cloth or leather seats ;)

thanks for that message mate
It really depends on how dirty they are and what kind of stains. There are various degrees of aggressive cleaning and targeted spot cleaning. You don't want to over-clean any more than you want to under-clean. I can assure you that there is ample cleaning/detail expertise on this board.
chill bruv. the future is not here yet!
Cheap seat covers can save them if applied pre-staining event.
Seek a black cloth or leather interior if you have not bought a Forester yet. Light colored cloth interiors always look disgusting when they are old and dirty, and cleaning old stained seats usually ends up providing you with a cleaner but blotchy interior. Cleaners will also wash out some of the anti-stain treatments (used to be Scotchbrite/PFAS) in the original cloth so they will be more prone to staining in the future.

"Active" vehicle brands like Jeeps and Ford Explorers have also historically come with uncleanable light colored interiors which look good in the showroom, but are best bought by white carpet and furniture people with no kids or pets and who don't actually use their vehicles outdoors.
Punctuation is your friend and helps us to understand what you write...please make a bit of an effort.
