How to Get a Stain Out of Ultrasuede

Ultrasuede is a synthetic fiber with many applications, from clothing to upholstery to footwear. Although ultrasuede is durable and stain resistant, it still gets stains. Washing ultrasuede in the washer or dry cleaning the fabric gets it clean. But the best way to get stains out of Ultrasuede is to pre-treat them beforehand.

Instructions

  1. Water-Based Stains

    • 1

      Blot the stain with a paper towel. This absorbs much of the stain.

    • 2

      Brush away any dry areas of the stain with a nail brush or old toothbrush. Do not brush too hard.

    • 3

      Wet a cloth with lukewarm water. Rub the stain from the outside inwards. Repeat this process until the stain is gone.

    • 4

      Let the fabric dry thoroughly.

    Oil Based Stains

    • 5

      Blot the stain with a paper towel.

    • 6

      Brush the stain with another paper towel. This removes any parts of the stain that have hardened.

    • 7

      Dampen a paper towel with ethyl alcohol. Rub the ethyl alcohols on the stain, then immediately blot the stain with a dry paper towel.

    • 8

      Repeat Step 3 as often as needed until the stain is gone.

    • 9

      Let the ultrasuede dry completely.
