Faux Suede Care Guide: Keep It Smooth, Soft & Shiny
🧼 Faux Suede Care Guide: Keep It Smooth, Soft &; Shiny
Faux suede is one of our favourite textures — soft, luxe, and 100% cruelty-free. But unlike real leather, it needs a little love to stay smooth and stylish.
Whether it’s your go-to faux suede jacket, thigh-high boots, or the perfect pair of heeled pants — here’s how to keep your suede looking brand new.
💜 Quick Faux Suede Care Tips
- Use a soft suede brush to refresh texture
- Spot clean with a damp cloth or suede sponge
- Always air dry — never use direct heat
- Store in a cool, dry space away from sunlight
- For boots: use boot shapers or stuff with paper
✨ Cleaning Faux Suede: Step-by-Step
1. Brush Gently
Use a soft-bristle suede brush to remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers without damaging them.
Bonus tip: Got a scuff? Try a pencil eraser or suede block.
2. Spot Clean
Dab lightly with a damp (not wet) cloth or suede-specific sponge. Don’t soak — faux suede absorbs quickly and can stain.
3. Blot and Air Dry
If you get caught in rain or a spill, blot the area with a dry towel — no rubbing. Then let it air dry naturally, away from heat or sun.
4. Steam Lightly (Optional)
Need to revive creases or flatten wrinkles? Hang the piece in the bathroom while you shower to let steam do the work. Avoid direct ironing.
👢 Caring for Faux Suede Boots & Heels
- Use boot shapers or stuff with tissue paper
- Wipe down the soles and heels after wear
- Let them dry fully before storing
- Keep them in a dust bag or cloth cover
🛑 What Not to Do
- 🚫 Don’t throw faux suede in the washing machine
- 🚫 Don’t use bleach, harsh cleaners, or detergents
- 🚫 Don’t apply heat (no hair dryers or radiators)
- 🚫 Don’t over-brush — gentle is enough
