How To Clean Suede Clothing
Suede is a type of leather that makes for cute and warm looking garments, shoes and accessories.
Remove surface dirt: For light dirt that is sitting on top of the surface of the shoes, brush off the dirt with a suede brush or a toothbrush. Always brush in the same direction as your suede.
For water stains: Remove fresh water stains immediately by blotting with a cloth or paper towel. If the stained area turns a different colour, try wetting the entire shoe with a damp cloth and let it dry.
For oil/grease stains: Blot out excess liquid and add a reasonable amount of baking soda (cornflour or talcum powder works too!) to the stained area. Leave it to sit for a few hours, then brush it away. You can always repeat this step until the stain is almost gone. ย
For tougher stains: For more stubborn stains like coffee or ink, apply a mixture of water and white vinegar to a damp wash cloth and begin to dab/ lightly wipe away the stain.
If the stain on your suede is just way too tough and too tricky to get rid of, hand it over to professionals who performsย green earth cleaning in Durango and let them get the stain out for you!
Here are some pointers to help maintain and protect your suede garments:
Use suede protecting products: These help prevent your suede garments from getting dirty or stained. Best applied before wearing the garment and can be found anywhere online.
Donโt get it wet: Ideally you shouldnโt wear suede in rainy conditions as it will ruin the fabric overtime.
Store it well: Store your suede garments in a breathable and dry environment. Keep away from damp places!
Use cotton/ breathable bags to pack suede when travelling.
