what's the best way to clean a suede jacket?

Question

is a washing machine a good idea?

Answer 1

DO NOT WASH A SUEDE JACKET! It will be completely ruined. The only thing you can do is take it to a leather cleaner, usually about $75. The dry cleaners will not do it at all, I've tried, all they will do is send it out to a leather cleaner and charge you more. Don't try those suede shoe cleaners ether because it won't work and actually in my experience makes it look much worst. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Well, it depends on how much it costs....
I have had luck with saddle soap, and then put it in the washer with no detergent, for rinsing (on warm, please) Take it out, and towel dryit, and the hang it with a towel(non-colored) around it for several hours, the hang it in a dry place, away from heat , until dry. DO NOT TRY TO DRY WITH HEAT. hEAT IS LEATHER'S ENEMY. Brush it out with a good, clean hair-bursh, and you have a new suede garment.

If you do not feel comfortable with this, due to the cost of the article, then take it to a professional cleaner, and get a replacement guarantee on it.

Answer 3

I don't think it's a good idea to wash suede. I would definitely have it professionally cleaned

Answer 4

Take it to a leather cleaner...washing in water will make water spots you will never get out. Do Not Get The Jacket Wet.

Answer 5

I would think the washing machine would be a bad idea. I would read the label to see how it is supposed to be laundered or take it to the dry cleaners! Unless you want to take a chance on ruining it.

Answer 6

A dry cleaner has a special way of doing it without harming the leather. Let a professional do it, the cost range isn't so bad.

Answer 7

Take it to the Cleaners, it will last longer...

Answer 8

have it dry-cleaned at the laundry service..
