Mould on suede

hobbitfancier

Hi all, I did a quick search but couldn't find anything on the topic. One hot day some chocolate melted in a leather bag, with a suede lining. I was annoyed and left it to one side in my room and today picked it up, about 6 weeks later, and I found some mould growing on it :eek: How can I go about removing the mould, most of the chocolate gunk without doing too much damage to the suede?

scrape it off with the back of a knife. then wipe with an antibac wipe or a dab of vinegar.hopefully this will do the trick

it might also help to hold that bit of lining over the steam from the kettle (watch fingers), blot dry then use a comb or suede brush to restore the nap.
