This is an old leather jacket I use for welding. It is just plain dirty. Oily, black, sooty dirt. Normally my similarly dirty jeans wash up well with normal detergent. I don't care if it gets water stained, but I don't want to make it useless, either. I just want to clean it. Any ideas?
One suggestion is to apply Tenderly leather cream to the entire suede shoe (or suede item) with the sponge applicator provided. Any stubborn or stained areas can be rubbed with extra pressure using the sponge applicator to help lift or remove the stain. Leave it overnight to fully dry and then buff lightly with a bath towel to return some of the nap and remove the dirt and other impurities. A suede brush can then be used to fully raise the nap.
The advantage of doing the whole shoe or item is that you don't end up with "clean spots" with some parts looking lighter than others due to being cleaner.
If you have a steamer (such as those used to steam shirts and suits) you can hold the suede item about 6 inches above the steam jet. Keep the amount of moisture penetrating the suede leather to a minimum, and just leave it in the steam long enough to heat the suede. Once heated use a special suede brush to brush the nap back up. This should also brush out most dirt and other particles, remove stains and give the suede a clean new look.
Another suggestion is to create the steam you need by boiling a pot of water and placing your item over the pot and follow the procedure described above.
Using the oats that you would get for making oatmeal or porridge, rub the suede all over with the oats. Leave the powder overnight and the next morning brush the item with a suede brush.
