   Your best bet is to take it to a professional cleaner. You don’t want to mess it up.

   In general, have suede garments professionally cleaned. This can be costly but the most effective way to ensure the safety of your fabric. If you must clean your own, follow these guidelines.

   STEP 1: Rub suede gently with a bath towel to restore some of its nap.

   STEP 2: Remove dry stains and marks from suede by gently rubbing a pencil eraser on the affected area. For wet stains lay a papertowel on top of stain to absorb most of the liquid. Do not apply any kind of stain remover or other products, especially if you want to have it professionally cleaned. This can interfere with the cleaning process.

   STEP 3: Brush with a suede brush.

   STEP 4: Apply a small amount of white vinegar to a lightly dampened cloth as a last resort for cleaning suede shoes.

   STEP 5: Gently rub the surface of the shoe with the cloth, then allow it to air dry.

   STEP 6: Remember that stains on leather and suede should be professionally treated. This is always the best option. You never know how the leather was treated during the making of your fabric and what will happen if you try to clean it yourself.

   Tips Warnings

   * Pre-treat suede with a leather protection spray before use.
   * Leather and suede garments should be professionally cleaned at least every two years. Drop off your garment during the season you are not using it. This will guarantee that your garment is ready when you need it.
   * Note that suede shoes treated with white vinegar may have a mild odor after cleaning.

   Make a mild vinegar and water mixture and run over the duvet with a soft sponge. You do not want to just mask oder you want to eliminate the bacteria that causes it. Than use Dryall in your dryer. Then you can use your febreeze after it is clean.

   I seriously doubt it’s suede. Have you read the label? It probably is microsuede, which is completely washable. If you have any doubts, take it to a dry cleaner and ask. If you have the money, let them clean it. If you don’t, take it to a laundromat and put it in the large frontloading machine. Dry on perm. press.
