Hi Two questions and maybe in the wrong place. sorry..
I have some suede trainers about three months old but they look like they are a year old
what is a good cleaner for them?
How do you clean your ceramic hob and stop the smear marks?
thanks

    We had ceramic hobs in our last house; stainless steel hob covers were the salvation of my sanity.

    Never again!

    Ceramic hobs - hob brite, available in supermarkets.

    instructables has a good tutorial about suede shoe cleaning. I did my suede sandals following it and they came up very nicely.

    Hob Brite for the hob. It's not the cheapest product out there, but it works really well. And a bottle lasts for ages - you only need to use a tiny drop each time.

    Put the covers on and you can't see the smears?

    Basically; yes. You take the covers off when in use, and put them on when done. The hob we inherited was beyond cleaning, and the ceramic was very absorbent or stains.
