Answer 1

Yeah, Steam them over the kettle and get a suede brush too, It's like i tiny wire brush. If you brush them while holding them over the steam they should come up OK, you can also get some suede protector spay from shoe shops to stop it happening again.

When it comes to cleaning suede footwear, the old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" definitely applies. Treating your suede or nubuck shoes with a protective spray or finish will help to repel water and prevent stains. If that ship has already sailed, at least you'll know for future reference to protect before wearing. In the meantime, here are some tips for cleaning suede shoes and boots after stains have already set. Remember to first test any treatment or product on a small inconspicuous area before tackling a large stain, and only use products designed specifically for the material of your footwear (suede, nubuck, smooth leather, etc.). For heavy stains on suede footwear, use a suede cleaning block (also called a suede eraser). These products will crumble as you rub them across the surface of the footwear, and are great for removing even deeply embedded dirt. After cleaning, the nap of your suede can be restored by using a suede brush. The bristles of suede brushes are usually made from brass, and often you can find both the cleaning block and the brush in one kit. Joe's Shoe Service is a great source for lots of suede cleaning and care products, and they're all very reasonably priced. Alternatively, your local shoe repair shop might offer many of the same items.

Oh HUn I hope the suede isn't light coloured otherwise you might be in the shi** with this.

Suede is notoriousley hard to clean.

I can suggest steaming over a gently simmering pan of water and dab/brush with a sof cloth, or brush with a special suede brush (from a shoe shop). This usually works a treat.

FYI if you have black suede needing some perking up brush it with a suede brush over an old fashioned candle, the black soot refreshes the suede. It really works as well!!

Once clean spray with a rain protector spray and take care. x

Answer 4

get some suede cleaner, if that works spray some scotch-guard spray or suede protector and it should protect them from the rain. Either that or take them back if you're given a new pair in place of the damaged ones still get some suede protector to stop it happening again.
Good luck

Answer 5

hey i answered your question about Unfabulous purses early and with no other way to answer, i'll post it here, along with an answer to this question:
ay i looked through alot of magazines and i finally found which purse the girl on Unfabulous, where she gets her purses!

-although she gets them form alot of different places, one is Vursachi or however you say it,

-go on diffeernt sites about purses and look for them or ones similar to it, go on "goodsearch.com" (a search engine that gives to charity,tell all your friends!!!) well go there and type in brand-name purses and see what you find out!!!!!!


good luck!!!




ALSO: suede CAN BE CLEANED with this one thing you can get from Wal-mart or anywhere, it's the only thta you can use to get stuff off suede, i dont know what its called (ask a sail's representative) but since you've got them wet already....i dont know....but i'm pretty sure it'll work!!!!!

good luck


-or if all else fails dye them or you can give them to charity!!!!! just cause they dont look pretty, doesnt mean they're not good enough for a homeless person!!!!!! they'd be lucky but do that as a last resort cause i think you can get it cleaned =D

!!!GOOD LUCK~~~~~~~~~

Answer 6

If you go to Ladies Foot Locker I got really good suede cleaner for my Pumas there, but you can't take them back to exchange them becuase it wasn't a defect in the suede, you ruined them.

Good Luck and I hope you can fix your shoes.

Answer 7
