best way to clean suede?
 

is it safe to steam clean it? i need to clean both the seats in my ls, the tour needs all its suede bits cleaned. i need a fast effective way to get large amounts of dust off of the suede along with a rust stain thanks to the previouse owner

a search will yeild good answers (You just need to go to the advanced options and search by relavancy to avoid seemingly random threads)

short answer...Suede brush for dust, and dabbing with a mix of wollite and warm watr for anything else. Something tells me steam cleaning is bad for the adhesives that hold the suede on

Armoral Carpet and upholstery cleaner!!!! My suede was crusty and black from mechanics putting their nasty greasy lttle paws all over it and I no **** thought I would have to have it recovered, but Armoral works miracles!!! Just spray it on and let it soak for a few minutes use a toothbrush or similar brush to scrub it (going in one direction) you will be amazed!

There is a lot in the How-To Docs about it. :)

Like Earl says, in the folder entitled "Detailing"

;):)

<linky> has some good info.

If you have access to any military bases they make really nice suede cleaning kits for the Marines suede boots :) lol

I steam cleaned my seats (previous owner coffee stains) and they turned out fine. but the ones on the doors are trickey to do because of thew water getting everywhere from the steam cleaner.

pfft, those things don't work. I just clean mine with a steel-wire brush and 80 grit sand paper. works like a charm! (my BOOTS, i mean)
