How to Clean Suede and Leather Jackets

• 1). Brush your entire jacket with a soft cloth and a suede brush. Remove as much dust and grime as possible before applying any cleaner.
  
  
• 2). Test the cleaner by applying a little to a spot of suede, such as a bottom corner of the jacket, to make sure that no color fades. If you rub a cloth on the spot and no color is transferred, you can continue using the suede cleaner. Otherwise, try to simply remove as much as possible with a dry cloth and a suede stain eraser (sold at leather cleaning supply stores).
  
  
• 3). Spot treat by spraying a little cleaner on a fresh cloth. Spraying on the cloth rather than directly on the suede will prevent making the suede too wet. Rub the soiled areas gently, using back and forth and circular motions.
  
  
• 4). Wipe off the full-grain areas of the leather again and then dip a clean cloth in a jar of saddle soap. Start with just a quarter size dollop and spread it over the leather, rubbing it in with circular motions.
  
  
• 5). Rub the leather again with a clean cloth to remove excess cleaner. Allow the jacket to air out in a well-ventilated area.
