How to clean suede

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 15:39:30 +0000

Like in the song ‘Don’t you step on my blue suede shoes’ everybody wants their prized possessions to look good at all times.
Suede can be tricky to clean and as it’s an expensive material to buy so you want to look after it.
It’s a good idea to brush suede regularly with a specialist suede brush which many shoe shops will sell.
Use a circular motion and be slow and gentle so as not to damage the suede.
If by chance you happen to get a stain on your suede try and soak up as much as possible of the offending liquid and if necessary take the item to a professional cleaner.
If it’s grease or oil you could use talcum powder and by letting it stand for 24 hours the powder could absorb the stain.
If the stain is for example a dried water mark you could brush it with a specialist suede brush or a clean dry sponge.

When I’m cleaning mirrors

The whole point of having a mirror is so that it reflects a good clear image when you look into it.So why not make the best possible job of cleaning it you can?

If you use a glass cleaner ensure you spray the cleaner onto a cotton cloth not the mirror surface.This will ensure that excess fluid is not deposited on the mirror and it won’t get into the surround.

The other benefit of this method is that the excess cleaner could damage the mirror’s silver backing casing it to go black eventually.Not a good idea if you have spent a lot of money in the first place purchasing the mirror.

Another method is to use discarded newspapers which are good for cleaning glass and of course it’s always useful to wear rubber gloves when using cleaning liquids/sprays.

Use a bowl comprising equal amounts of water and vinegar.Make a loose ball with the newspaper and wipe the mirror very throughly.Then use a dry newspaper or cotton cloth to ensure to get rid of any streaks.

Then you can get down to the serious business of admiring oneself!
