How to Clean Microfiber-Suede Upholstery

Microfiber suede, or microsuede, is made from polyester fibers. The finely split fibers are formed into a fabric that mimics natural suede. Microsuede upholstery resists stains and absorption, and it only requires basic spot cleaning to keep it looking fresh. Vacuum your microsuede upholstery regularly to prevent dirt and debris from setting deep into the fibers and ruining the look of your furniture. With the proper care, you can keep your microsuede furniture looking its best.
