How to Wash Suede Furniture Covers
Materials Needed
- Clean towels
- Soft gum eraser
- Baking soda
- Suede brush
- Suede conditioning spray
- Use a clean towel to rub over the suede cover. This step will return much of the nap to the covers and remove lint.
- Take a soft gum eraser and use it like a pencil to remove any dried marks on the furniture covers. If the stains are still wet, place a towel underneath the cover and dab the top with the towel. The liquid will absorb into the top and bottom towels to remove the stains.
- Avoid using any type of stain remover on the covers. You should also avoid any other types of liquids.
- Lightly dust the furniture covers with baking soda. Use a little more baking soda if there are oil stains. Allow the covers to sit out for 24 hours, which will soak up any oil.
- Brush the covers with a suede brush. Do not use too much pressure while using the brush and make sure you use short strokes and you make your way across the covers.
- Spray a light coat of conditioning spray over the covers. Make sure the spray is made specifically for the covers and use even layers of the spray. Allow the suede furniture cover to sit for 24 hours before using them.
