To use Scotchgard on suede, first clean the suede to remove any dirt. Hold the Scotchgard can 6 inches away and spray lightly and evenly, ensuring not to oversaturate. Allow the suede to dry completely—usually 24 hours. For best results, apply a second coat after the first has dried. This will help protect the suede from spills and stains.
