How to Clean Furniture With Synthetic Suede

Synthetic suede, sometimes referred to as microsuede or microfiber, is a popular upholstery fabric, usually used to cover sofas, lounge chairs and chair cushions. Synthetic suede is more stain resistant than many upholstery fabrics, and it doesn't collect as much pet hair. When stains are absorbed, synthetic suede can be somewhat daunting to clean. Moisture may leave stubborn water marks, so all spills should be taken care of as soon as possible.
