How to Clean and Revive Suede Shoes, Bags & Jackets
Perfect for: everyday dirt, scuffs, colour restore, nourishing the suede and general freshening up.
What you'll need
Your matching Tala Rossi Suede Care Set — it includes everything in one neat kit.
1. Clean
Start fresh! Make sure your suede is dry. Set up Reusable Paper to catch any debris. Dust off your suede with the Suede Soft Brush. Stubborn stains and scuffs? Rub them away with the Suede Stain Eraser until they fade, then brush off eraser bits.
2. Protect
Time to tape! Use Masking Tape to cover up soles, zippers, and any extras to keep them free from colour. Roll up your sleeves and slip on those Cotton Gloves to keep hands clean and suede pristine.
3. Care
Shake the Suede Revive Spray well and spray 3-5 times from about 15 cm away. Want a richer colour? Add a few more spritzes! Brush to smooth the colour, then let your suede air dry for 10 min.
4. Perfect
One more brush to lift that nap to perfection. Peel off the Masking Tape, then wipe down the Reusable Paper for the next use. Voilà! Your suede is fresh and fabulous - go show it off!

How to Remove Specific Stains from Suede
Water stains
Water marks are one of the most common suede complaints — and one of the easiest to fix.
- Dampen the entire panel (not just the stain) lightly and evenly with a clean, damp cloth. This prevents a tide mark forming.
- Stuff the item with paper to hold its shape and let it dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Once fully dry, brush the nap back into place with your suede brush.
- Finish with your Tala Rossi Revive Spray to restore colour and add water resistance.
Mud stains
- Wait for the mud to dry completely — never try to clean wet mud, as it will spread.
- Once dry, use the suede brush to break up and brush away as much mud as possible.
- Use the suede eraser on any remaining marks.
- Apply the Suede Revive Spray to restore the colour if needed, brush to smooth the colour, allow to dry, then brush the nap back into place.

Keep Your Suede Looking Its Best
A little regular care goes a long way. Here are a few habits that make a big difference:
- Brush your suede items after every few wears to prevent dirt from setting in.
- Apply a protective spray before wearing new suede for the first time.
- Apply Suede Revive Spray every 2 weeks with regular wear to restore the colour and nourish the suede so it looks brand new.
- Store suede in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Never use water or household cleaners — always use products designed for suede.
