How to Fix a Burn on Microsuede

Slight Burns

• 1

  Fill a spray bottle with distilled white vinegar. Distilled white vinegar is known for being a stain remover agent, and can potentially remove a slight burn mark in microsuede. If the burn is superficial and has not gone all the way through the microsuede, the distilled white vinegar may be able to soak up the stain and remove the mark.

• 2

  Spray the vinegar onto the burn spot. Allow it to soak into the microsuede for five minutes. Use a rag to dab the burn out. Avoid rubbing the burn back and forth or else you might smear the burn mark and cause more staining to the furniture.

• 3

  Wait for the area of the microsuede to dry overnight. Assess the damage. If the vinegar removed most of the burn, then the repairing is done. If not, you may want to cut out the burned area from the furniture and make a patch over it.

Severe Burns

  Cut out the burned area of the microsuede furniture with fabric shears. Be careful to not rip or cut any part of the actual furniture -- just the microsuede. You should now have a hole in the furniture where the burn mark was.

• 5

  Place a sheet of microsuede fabric, in the matching color of the furniture, over the area where the hole is. Cut out a piece of microsuede fabric to use as a replacement for the hole.

• 6

  Line up the edges of the new patch against the furniture. Thread the needle and use a straight stitch to hand sew the patch into the furniture. If you are able to unzip the microsuede covering of the furniture, then do so, and turn the fabric inside out as you stitch the new patch of microsuede to the fabric cover. By sewing the patch to the inside of the fabric, you reduce the obviousness of the patch.
