How to Clean Spots on Microfiber Suede

Microfiber suede gives furniture the look of real suede without the price tag. Made from 100 percent polyester fibers that are thinner than a strand of human hair, microfiber suede is a highly stain-resistant synthetic. These stain-resistant qualities make microfiber suede easier to clean than natural suede. If you have microfiber suede furniture, it will require little more than a light, weekly vacuuming. For those unexpected spots left behind by spills, mild dish soap usually does the trick.

  Blot up spills with a soft towel. If a spot remains, dampen a sponge with cool water and rub it over the area. Work in circular motions, until the spot dissolves. Allow the microfiber suede to air dry.
