How to eliminate a dark stain in my suede camel boots?

Question

I don't know exactly where the stain comes from.

Answer 1

Hi, try using a "Magic Eraser" from Mr. Clean, make sure you get all of the excess water out before using it; it works very well. I was able to remove permanent marker from the wall with it.

If that does not work, ask someone at the dry cleaners, or someone who repairs shoes if they know how to get stains out, If they don't know how ask them if they know of someone or some place that can do it for you.

Answer 2

Here's another idea in case the others listed above do not work:

Brush the suede to clean off the area. Rub the spot lightly with an emery board. Then apply steam over the spot.

Your avatar looks like those boots may be expensive. Why not take them to your local shoe repair shop? They could get the stain out while you wait. They are the pros, you know.

Answer 3

Try cornmeal mixed with a little water and a toothbrush. I paid $40 to get my daughter's suede coat cleaned (she's 4 it wasn't a good idea). She had a stain and the cleaners didn't get it out. I took it back and they still didn't get it out. My mother told me about the cormeal and it did a better job than the cleaners.

Answer 4

Try a stiff hair brush. I always keep one around for stubborn stains. It will also help bring up the nap and get out all of the residue. Hope this helps.
