Cleaning Suede:
Suede is a difficult material to maintain. It is damaged easily, and once it is damaged, it is impossible to bring it back to original condition. The type of maintenance required for suede items is described below.

* You may use steam to clean the suede. Hold the material about 6 inches above the steam jet and once it becomes heated, brush it up with help of a special brush and clean the entire surface. Make sure that steam is used just for heating and that water penetration inside suede leather is at a minimum.
* Cleaning and removal of dust: Suede requires regular cleaning and removal of accumulated dust. The dust causes the surface to be discolored and this discoloration is not easy to remove. Special cleaning products are available from the store to remove discoloration.
* Sand papering: Sand paper can be applied to make suede leather look rough again. Sometimes the fuzzy look of suede becomes smooth due to friction and wearing off the grains. The sand paper can make it look rough again and color powders described above can make it look somewhat original. The original feel never returns to the suede leather by homemade methods. A professional with special cleaning equipment can make it look like the original condition.
* Use surface protection for suede leather. There are special surface preparation materials available from the store. They will need to be applied every six months or so.
* Flattened suede maybe returned to original conditions by brushing with a circular motion with a sponge or brush specially made for purpose.
