Help!!! Cleaning a Suede Mombasa

fauxfu09 · Jun 15th, 2007, 05:03 AM

I bought a blush colored suede mombasa a few months ago and it's starting to look dirty, especially at the edges where the seams connect and by the handle where I hold the bag. I know it gets some of it by rubbing against clothing, so what can I do? The suede is really soft, and I don't know what will get the stains out. Help!

they make this suede cleaning kit with comes with a suede brush and suede 'eraser'. it's a rubber thing that lifts th dirt marks out of the suede and then you brush the pile with the included brush. you can get them at leather shops, shoe repair places and even target. i hope that helps :)

I use a brand new everyday nail file the rusty colored side on all of my suede shoes. It takes the top layer off but does nothing to the finish.
