    I don't know if you will believe me about this, but here goes:

    I honestly put 'removing stains suede' into MSN search and got this: :A

    http://www.modernleather.com/care_of_suede.cfm

    Seems helpful and innocent enough, until you click on Hallowean 2005 and realise what type of site 'modernleather' is really about. :shhh:

    Then you notice 'bondage'... :eek:

    You never know it may appeal to some moneysavingexperts... ;)

    Hiya everyone!

    I have a gorgeous pink suede jacket that I bough a year ago. The problem I have is that it has marks in the usual places: collar, end of sleeves, etc. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to remove them without having to pay the drycleaning an awful amount (the jacket itself was only 40 pounds).

    Thx in advance.

    There are some threads in the Cleaning section of the MEGA Index sticky about cleaning suede. Some in clothes and others in shoes, I think. They might help. :)

    Go to a Clarks choe shop and buy a suede cleaning block for about £3. It's a little block of white crumbly stuff that you rub onto the suede and it magically lifts the muck off.

    I was sceptical until I tried it on a pair of beige suede boots and it REALLY worked :)
    Just run, run and keep on running!
