Stains and marks on suede

Most marks on suede can be brushed off with a stiff brush, a damp cloth or sponge. However grease and oil can be a real struggle to remove from suede.

There are a few ways that you can tackle a grease stain on suede:

  • You can get grease off of suede simply with a toothbrush and a bit of vinegar. Using a toothbrush dipped in white vinegar, rub gently around the stained area. Dab with a clean dry cloth and let it dry.

  • Cover the mark with talcum powder and leave over night. The powder will absorb the grease. Brush clean in the morning.

  • Try making a thick paste of Fullers Earth and a little dry cleaning fluid and rub it into the stain. Leave for a few hours or overnight and brush it all away.

  • For grease marks round collars. You can buy special suede cleaning cloths that you can rub over marks such as these.

  • You can get grease off of suede by wiping with a soft clean cloth and using a little glycerin dabbed on the affected spot.
