To get suede back to normal, first, gently brush the suede with a soft suede brush to remove surface dirt. If it's wet, pat it dry with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry completely away from heat sources. For scuffs, use the brush to lift the nap. Stubborn stains may require a suede eraser or a little white vinegar on a cloth, followed by brushing. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. To protect suede in the future, consider applying a suede protector spray.
