    How to Clean Suede

    Suede is a lovely material - warm, soft and cuddly. Too bad it's such a terrible beast to clean. In general, have suede garments professionally cleaned. This can be costly but the most effective way to ensure the safety of your fabric. If you must clean your own, follow these guidelines.

    Step1

    Rub suede gently with a bath towel to restore some of its nap.

    Step2

    Remove dry stains and marks from suede by gently rubbing a pencil eraser on the affected area. For wet stains lay a papertowel on top of stain to absorb most of the liquid. Do not apply any kind of stain remover or other products, especially if you want to have it professionally cleaned. This can interfere with the cleaning process.

    Step3
    Brush with a suede brush.

    Step4

    Apply a small amount of white vinegar to a lightly dampened cloth as a last resort for cleaning suede

    Step5
    Gently rub the surface with the cloth, then allow it to air dry.

    Step6
    Remember that stains on leather and suede should be professionally treated. This is always the best option. You never know how the leather was treated during the making of your fabric and what will happen if you try to clean it yourself.:thumbs:
