Freezer
Dull butter knife
1/2 cup liquid dish detergent
Small bowl
1/4 cup lukewarm water
Spoon
Clean sponge
Suede brush

Instructions

- 1
  Place the coat into a freezer for at least three hours. Freezing the coat will make the paint stain harden, which will make it easier to scrape off.
- 2
  Remove the coat from the freezer.
- 3
  Scrape off as much of the puffy paint as possible. Use a dull butter knife to do the scraping.
- 4
  Pour 1/2 cup of liquid dish detergent in a small bowl.
- 5
  Add 1/4 cup of lukewarm water to the small bowl. Use a spoon to swish the mixture around to form a layer of foam.
- 6
  Dip a clean sponge into the foam. Ensure the sponge picks up just the foam and not the water.
- 7
  Pat the foamy sponge onto any remaining paint residue. Blot away stains.
- 8
  Allow the coat to dry completely.
- 9
  Brush the recently cleaned area with a suede brush to restore the pattern of the suede.
