Suede is a capricious material that requires careful care. But unforeseen circumstances of the external environment often lead to things getting dirty, and a suede coat is no exception. You should not resort to dry cleaning and use the services of different companies to restore the appearance of products. We suggest using homemade recipes and cleaning your suede coat yourself.

Using folk remedies

• Cleaning with regular milk. Take 100 ml of milk and dilute 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix the mixture and wet a cotton swab. Then, start wiping the dirty areas against the lint. If a cotton swab becomes dirty, it is worth replacing it with a new one; this will make it possible to clean the product more deeply and will not allow any remaining dirt to be smeared on a light-colored coat.

ATTENTION: This method is suitable for light tones of suede, which get dirty much more often than darker tones.

Using chemicals
