How to: Care About Your Suede Jacket

You can apply a suede protector spray to protect your jacket from stains. This will create a barrier that repels water and other liquids, preventing them from penetrating the suede. To apply the suede protector spray, hold the can about 6 inches away from the jacket and spray evenly. Allow the jacket to dry completely before wearing it.

Suede can only become flattened if it's brushed regularly. To maintain the texture and colour of your jacket, you should brush it regularly with a suede brush. This will also help remove any dirt or dust accumulated on the suede's surface.

To brush your jacket, use a suede brush and brush in one direction. Brush the entire jacket, paying particular attention to any stained or discoloured areas.

If your jacket becomes stained or discoloured, you can use a suede eraser or brush to remove the stain. Suede erasers are designed to remove stains from suede without damaging the material.

To use a suede eraser, rub the eraser gently over the stain in a back-and-forth motion. If the stain doesn't come out, you can use a suede brush to gently brush the stain.

If your jacket becomes wet, let it dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Once the coat is dry, brush it with a suede brush to restore the texture. Suppose your jacket becomes very dirty and needs deeper cleaning. In that case, you should take it to a professional cleaner specialising in suede cleaning.
