To moisturize suede, first brush the suede gently with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt. Then, apply a suede conditioner or moisturizer, using a clean, dry cloth to spread the product evenly. Let the suede air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. For extra protection, consider spraying the suede with a water and stain repellent after it dries. Always test the conditioner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t affect the suede’s color or texture.
