Cleaning faux suede can seem confusing. It is a synthetic, soft material that resembles suede. What are some of the reasons someone may choose faux suede over suede? It is known to be more stain resistant, easier to clean and less expensive. Furthermore, it is better at repelling water than suede.
Cleaning Faux Suede – A Top Tip
You will be able to find out more cleaning information from your furniture. The tag will offer you valuable details. A tag with the letter ‘W’ means that the faux suede can be cleaned with a water-based cleaning solution. A ‘S’ suggests that your furniture should only be cleaned using dry-cleaning methods. If the tag has both letters, they both can be used. A ‘X’ suggests that the furniture should only be cleaned with the help of a professional upholstery cleaner. In this case you should be very careful about the products and methods that you use to clean your furniture.
This is a faux suede suite we cleaned in Lytham St Annes. It had a lot of soiling and head grease. However, a deep clean sorted it out.
There are certain things that you should be aware of when considering cleaning faux suede. High-powered attachments on your hover can damage the material. This can leave it with pulls or wrinkles which are extremely hard to remove.
Therefore, only use soft brush attachments and approach this process carefully. Removing particles regularly will help keep your suite looking clean.
Another top tip? It is always a good idea clean spills immediately once they happen. As with many other materials, it is important not to scrub at any stain. Coloured cloths may transfer dye onto the material. The last thing you want to do is remove your original stain and replace it with another.
