How do you clean a suede jacket?

Question

I spilled hazelnut latte all over my suede jacket. I can't afford to get it dry cleaned. What should I use to clean itmyself? Hairspray, water, orange cleaner, a dry sponge or brush?

Answer 1

I've cleaned suede handbags with water. Just make sure you use something like a sponge, which won't leave tons of little pieces of lint on it.

There are also cleaners made especially for leather and suede. You could probably find one in a place like WalMart, but if not then you could find one in a place that sells good shoes and handbags or boots.

Answer 2

Suede is one of those materials that loses color extremely easily, hence weather-proofing it or when you do dry clean it, they have to remove the color, clean, then reapply the color, which is why it's so expensive. But, it's worth it, most anything else will ruin it.

Answer 3

if you can't take it to the cleaners I would by suede cleaner from a store like wal-mart,

Answer 4

You should dab it with warm water, if it still doesn't come out, use a VERY mild detergent or something.
