How Do I Clean a Suede Jacket?

[Venom]

Hey, anyone have any suggestions... the dry cleaners want $100 to clean it, but i was wondering if there was any home remedies?

No don't clean it yourself its not worth it, you are better off getting it done professionally in the long run.

Don't do it yourself...$100 is pretty steep though...where did you go? Most places charge between $40 and $60 I find...unless there is something else wrong with the jacket...describe please...

Is it visibly dirty, or do you just want to freshen it up?

If it's dirty, what is on it?

i brushed against my dirty car, so now its like this grey stuff on it...

I would just use a damp cloth to wipe the dirt/dust off and allow it to dry.

Should be not problem, just don't use a lot of water.. just damp.

did you try a suede brush to brush it off??

i was just going to suggest this.
buy a suede brush and gently brush the area. your best bet might be finding one in a shoe store, it is just a small little brush.

careful...don't put any water on it...also, keep in mind that if you don't get the dirt/stain out properly now, it will be a problem later...either the skin will weaken because of your rubbing (the brush idea) or the stain won't come out if you wait to get it cleaned in a few months (since it will be set)

I love suede, but it's such a pain in the ass to maintain/take care of...

EDIT: are you in Toronto? If' so I'll send you the names of a couple of different leather/suede cleaning places...they are the ones that actually clean it when you take it to the drycleaning store...hence, you can cut out the middle man and get a better price...

How bad is the stain? Post pics!
