"  Suede is a beauty to behold, but a beast to clean. Whenever I wear my suede jacket or shoes, I&amp;#039;m extremely cautious to try to prevent them from becoming damaged. But it&amp;#039;s almost impossible to avoid the occasional shower or muddy curb. Here are my insider tips for preventing and curing mishaps. If your Suede Hat gets a soaking in an unforseen downpour, blot it with a bath towel to remove as much of the water as possible. Then stuff the crown with newspaper to help it keep its shape as it dries. Avoid the temptation to use the blow dryer or put it on the radiator to help it dry quickly. Heat destroys suede&amp;#039;s soft, lustrous finish. Protect the collar on a Suede Jacket from body oil by wearing a scarf around your neck. If you do notice any greasy stains, sprinkle them with an absorbent powder, like cornstarch or use a suede cleaner. Perhaps Suede Boots take the roughest beating. Almost inevitably, they&amp;#039;ll become caked with dirt or even worse mud. If they&amp;#039;re dirty and damp, allow them to dry completely before you clean them. You&amp;#039;ll find a kneadable eraser like the ones your kids use for art projects will work wonders. If the nap of the suede has flattened, scrub it briskly with a clean toothbrush.
