The Right Way to Clean a Suede Couch

Vacuum Thoroughly

Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the surface of your suede couch. Regular vacuuming prevents dirt from embedding into the fabric.

Brush the Suede

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. Brushing in different directions helps maintain the suede’s soft texture.

Spot Clean

For small stains, blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fabric.

Use Suede Eraser

For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a white pencil eraser. Rub gently to lift the stain without damaging the suede.

White Vinegar Solution

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Dampen a cloth with the solution and blot the stain gently. This helps remove water-soluble stains without damaging the suede.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Do not use harsh chemicals or cleaning agents on suede. These can damage the fabric and alter its texture.

Protective Spray

Apply a suede-protective spray to your couch. This creates a barrier against stains and spills, making future cleaning easier.
