While cleaning suede furniture demands caution, using the correct method allows you to refresh and care for it effectively at home.
Suede is a type of leather with a soft, napped finish, which makes it more sensitive to moisture and stains than regular leather.
However, you don't always need to call a professional—many everyday spills and soiling can be handled effectively at home.
The first step involves vacuuming the upholstery.
Employ the vacuum’s upholstery brush to lightly extract dust, grime, and loose debris.
It's important because leftover dirt can abrade the fabric when you proceed with cleaning.
Work the attachment in smooth, even motions, giving added focus to corners and stitched areas where dirt collects.
For light surface stains or scuffs, a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser can work wonders.
Apply light, directional strokes to eliminate marks without harming the nap.
Use a light touch—too much pressure risks flattening or damaging the nap.
Use a soft-bristled tool to gently brush the area and bring back its natural look after erasing.
If your suede upholstery has a spill or spot, act quickly.
Quickly dab the area with a dry, absorbent towel to remove as much fluid as you can.
Rubbing should be avoided since it can embed the liquid more deeply.
Let beverages like tea or juice dry entirely by air before attempting any stain treatment.
Use a dedicated suede cleaning product once the area has dried completely.
Always conduct a spot test to confirm the cleaner won’t fade or damage the fabric.
Dampen a lint-free cloth with a little cleaner and lightly dab the stain.
Clean the area in small patches, being careful not to soak the material.
Ensure the area dries slowly in a well-ventilated space, shielded from intense heat.
Do not apply water, general-purpose cleaners, or steam cleaning, as they risk discoloration and damage.
Leather conditioners for polished surfaces should be avoided—they’re incompatible with suede and might stain it.
Using a specialized spray can enhance the durability and stain resistance of your furniture.
They provide a protective layer that deters liquid absorption and soiling.
Make sure the upholstery is clean oriental rug and dry before applying, and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Reapply the protector every few months or as recommended.
Frequent attention ensures your suede stays in excellent condition.
Brush the surface weekly with a soft brush to keep the nap upright and prevent dirt from settling in.
Position your furniture away from sunlight to prevent color loss, and turn cushions often for balanced usage.
Adhering to these guidelines allows you to clean suede upholstery safely, enhancing its longevity and appearance.
