Any stains that may appear on suede clothing and shoes can be removed with talcum powder, milk or gasoline:
- Rub the stain in place with a cloth soaked in gasoline and it will disappear right before your eyes.
- And if the stain that appears is a greasy drop of something, then sprinkle it immediately with talcum powder, as it has good absorbent properties.
- In dirty places, a rough surface may appear on the suede, which is preferable to get rid of with milk. Take about half a glass and add a few drops of ammonia and 1 teaspoon of baking soda there. Mix all the ingredients well, apply to the suede surface and wait a few minutes. Then just wipe with a clean napkin and the thing will be clean.
