How to clean and maintain suede fabric?

August 11, 2023

Cleaning and maintaining Suede Fabric requires gentle and careful handling. Here are some steps to clean and maintain suede:

1. Brushing: Use a suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the suede fabric in one direction. This helps remove any dirt or dust particles from the surface.

2. Stain removal: For small stains or spots, use a suede eraser or a pencil eraser to gently rub the affected area. Avoid using excessive force as it may damage the fabric. For oil-based stains, sprinkle some cornstarch or talcum powder on the stain and let it sit overnight. Brush off the powder the next day.

3. Steam treatment: If the suede fabric has flattened or matted areas, hold it over a steaming kettle or use a handheld steamer to gently steam the fabric. Be careful not to hold it too close to the steam to avoid soaking the fabric.

4. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to the fabric to help repel water and stains. Follow the instructions on the spray bottle and ensure the fabric is clean and dry before applying the protector.

5. Storage: Store suede items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or crushing the fabric to prevent creases or permanent damage. Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap after storage.

6. Professional cleaning: For tough stains or extensive cleaning, it is recommended to seek professional help. Professional suede cleaners have the expertise and equipment to handle delicate suede fabrics.

Remember, prevention is key when it comes to maintaining suede fabric. Avoid wearing suede in rainy or wet conditions, and promptly treat any stains to prevent them from setting in.
