| Answer: Hi Michele! Suede is a tough material from which to remove stains because it is so porous. The ink sinks right in and dyes the suede. Here are a couple of ideas that might work. First of all, is your sofa real suede, or is it a faux suede? If it is faux suede, you should try using window cleaner (like Windex) on it. Try applying the window cleaner on an inconspicuous spot first to make sure that it won't stain your couch material. If you have got real suede, try a suede or nubuck cloth first. These cloths remove the surface stains, and it might take off enough of the ink that it will no longer be noticeable. If it is still bothering you, look for a suede cleaner or a dry cleaner solvent that is safe for suede. Again, be sure to test these cleaners to make sure they will not discolor the suede before applying them to the stain. |
