• 1). Dab at spills as soon as they happen. Get a paper towel or a cotton rag, such as an old T-shirt, and absorb as much of the spill as you can without rubbing. Micro suede will repel small spills, but if the moisture seeps into the fabric it can leave a water mark.
  
  
• 2). Use rubbing alcohol, or ammonia, on a wet rag to work on oily spots. Rub gently and then use a clean dry rag to blot the spot and hopefully remove the oily stain. Let it air dry.
  
  
• 3). Try a dry cleaning product for a really difficult stain. Follow the manufacturer's directions.
  
  
• 4). Remove odors from your micro suede by putting baking soda over the area and leaving it to soak in. Vacuum it off or shake it out. If you use a furniture deodorizer spray, just mist lightly or you will leave watermarks on your faux suede.
  
  
• 5). Raise the nap with a toothbrush or another brush made for suede products. This will help areas that may have become hardened.
  
  

Cleaning Ultrasuede®

• 1). Use a lint brush to restore the nap of your Ultrasuede on a regular basis. Use a vacuum to dust the fabric and follow up with a barely damp rag to remove additional dust and surface dirt.
  
  
• 2). Pat spills right away with a paper towel, but don't rub or you risk embedding them into the fabric. For dried-in spills, brush them with a suede brush and vacuum up the dried material.
  
  
• 3). Wipe difficult stains with a warm, but damp, rag. Wipe gently and use only the clean part of the rag. When it's dry, brush the area to restore the nap.
  
  
• 4). Use two rags for oily stains. Soak one in alcohol and keep the other clean and dry. Pat the stain with the alcohol-soaked rag to loosen the dirt and then lift it off with the dry rag. Repeat as necessary.
