Suede fabric, with its unique soft touch, warm tones and retro charm, has occupied a place in the fashion world. However, this fabric also requires special maintenance and cleaning methods due to its delicateness and sensitivity. Proper maintenance can not only extend the service life of Suede fabric clothing, but also maintain its original texture and luster.
1. Daily maintenance
1. Avoid friction and scratches
Suede fabric is very susceptible to friction and scratches, so be extra careful during daily wear and storage. Avoid direct contact with rough surfaces or sharp objects to reduce wear and scratches.
2. Waterproof and anti-fouling
Although Suede fabric itself is not waterproof, it can be treated with a professional waterproof spray after purchase to enhance its anti-fouling ability. At the same time, try to avoid wearing Suede fabric clothing in rainy, snowy weather or humid environments.
3. Regular ventilation
Store Suede fabric clothing in a well-ventilated place to avoid prolonged moisture or direct sunlight. A humid environment can easily cause fabrics to mold, while direct sunlight may cause the color to fade.
2. Professional cleaning steps
1. Prepare tools and materials
Professional Suede cleaning brush: used to remove surface dust and stains.
Eraser (soft): suitable for removing minor stains.
Professional Suede detergent: choose the appropriate detergent according to the color of the fabric, and avoid using detergents containing bleach or strong acids and alkalis.
Clean towel or paper towel: used to absorb excess water and detergent.
2. Remove surface dust
First, use a professional Suede cleaning brush to gently brush away dust and impurities on the surface of the garment. Be careful to brush along the texture direction of the fabric to avoid reverse operation that may damage the fiber.
3. Deal with local stains
For minor stains, you can first wipe gently with a soft eraser to see if it can be removed. If the stain is more stubborn, use a professional Suede detergent. Spray an appropriate amount of detergent on the stain, then gently press with a clean towel or paper towel to absorb it. Do not wipe hard to avoid damaging the fabric.
4. Overall cleaning
If the entire garment needs to be cleaned, it is recommended to send it to a professional dry cleaner for processing. Because overall cleaning at home may cause the fabric to deform or fade due to improper operation.
5. Drying and finishing
After cleaning, Suede fabric clothing should be air-dried naturally, and avoid using a hot air blower or dryer to prevent the fabric from shrinking or deforming. After drying, use a professional Suede cleaning brush to gently brush off the floating hair and impurities on the surface again to restore the fluffy feeling and glossiness of the fabric.
III. Precautions
Before performing any cleaning operation, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale test in an inconspicuous place to ensure that the detergent will not damage the fabric.
Avoid using detergents containing solvents such as alcohol and gasoline, which may damage the fiber structure of Suede fabrics.
Regularly perform maintenance and care for Suede fabric clothing, such as using professional waterproof sprays or maintenance agents, to maintain its good appearance and performance.
