How to Ruin Suede Furniture
December 27, 2018
It is extremely easy to stain suede furniture. Leather furniture is much more delicate than conventional fabric upholstery and requires a special cleaning process. Suede can become easily damaged if it is not treated properly. Homeowners often try DIY cleaning products or procedures to get rid of stains but cause more harm than good. Since suede is made from animal hide with open pores, it is quite absorbent and becomes easily stained when the wrong cleaner is used. When water comes in contact with suede, it becomes stiff as well. Harsh chemicals may lead to worse stains. Some may cause deterioration to the protective suede coating, which exposes the material to dirt and humidity. Also, when brushed vigorously to remove a stain, suede can become permanently destroyed.
