How to Remove Oil Stains From Faux Suede

Suede is difficult to clean, and more difficult to remove stains from. Oil, grease or any fatty substance can be removed with cornstarch and vinegar.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Brown paper (kitchen paper)
• Cornstarch
• Vinegar
• Cotton cloth
• Suede buff

1. Wipe all excess oil off suede with kitchen paper, or a brown paper bag. Do not rub, lightly dab to remove excess substance.

2. Cover the stain in cornstarch. Let sit for 10 minutes.

3. Gently brush away cornstarch and use suede buff to remove all. If stain is still there, go to next step.

4. Using cotton cloth, dab the stain with vinegar. Wipe away excess, and use suede buff to complete. Stain should be removed!

Tips & Warnings

• Protect your suede from the beginning with leather protectant. It will save many headaches from stains.
• Do not use water or soap on suede. It will only make a larger stain.
