How to get er..."stains" off suede?

Hello. I feel mighty embarrassed asking this but here we go.
On our bed at home, there is a horrible black suede (or suede-alike) headboard.
We've accidentally splashed something...organic on it.
We have used hot water to clean it, but it's quite set and will not shift - quite a noticable splodge too!
Any advice for an embarrassed couple about to move out and due an inspection?!

Sorry, but this thread nearly made me choke on my tea.
Might I suggest not allowing such precious organics going to waste in future?:D

Come, come - how did this happen?"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

have you tried one of those suede er...rubbers that you get in shoe shops?0

Presumably you've washed away the......residue..........so it is just a stain?
Can you colour it in with a permanent black marker? Try it on the back of the headboard first.0 -
Seriously though, try some of these
Various suggestions for stains on suede include an eraser, emery board and stale bread....

Dilute one of those morning after pill in 0.5 litre of warm water and clean it.
So normally where does he aim ?0 -
Try to enjoy your 'organic' activities in a variety of locations to avoid more 'organic' damageMum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession
