Suede garments are beautiful, but need special care. Attempting to clean suede at home is not generally recommended and cleaning products designed for leather should never be used on suede.

For example, Jeeves New York was called by the Dior boutique in New York City to take care of a suede jacket that their client attempted to clean at home. The stains left after home cleaning were 100 times worse than before. Jeeves New York was able to correct the problem; after many hours of restoration by our experts.

Jeeves New York recommends that if you want to attempt cleaning suede at home only use a suede brush and use it carefully. Test an inconspicuous area and and lightly brush the stained area.  Here is a link for a good suede brush.  (http://Here is a link for a good suede brush NULL.)

This same technique should be used on any suede garment, including handbags and shoes. Another tip is to not wear suede in the rain. In many cases, rain will leave stains on suede.

Suede can be treated to make it water resistant, but we still recommend that suede garments, handbags or shoes be used in rainy weather.

For stains that a suede brush cannot remove, consult Jeeves New York (https://www NULL.jeevesofbelgravia NULL.com/newyork/help/contact-us/) or the best leather and suede cleaner in your area.
