How to clean suede????

How do you clean black suede?

I know you can not use water or water based chemicals

i have what look to be two little water spots on my black suede leather seats

also for just dirt and dust i can use a lint roller right?

Thanks in advance for any helpful info

You almost can't really clean suede, especially black. You can use a soft brush and agitate the fabric with light pressure to remove dust, dirt, crumbs, etc.. I have used the 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover to spot treat stains but use any cleaner or water based product with caution. Use as little as possible and make sure you leave the doors open to let air circulate through until dry and avoid direct sun. I would work it in with a soft brush and blot dry when you are done.

Any soft bristle brush will work, just make sure it wasn't used with some other cleaner previously. It should feel soft to your bare skin as a good test. I recommend a soft cloth that is CLEAN. Microfiber (ie DI Microfiber All Purpose Towel) will work fine if you blot dry with it, don't drag/wipe it around the surface.

Look up a leather store in town. There might be a place called Tandy Leather or Tandy Crafts. They sell a product called Lexol that is specifically for leather products. They also have the soft brush for cleaning suede. Check them out. Might even find them online.
