How to Clean Suede Leather Hats
At Bohemian Atelier Collection, we use natural suede leather, not faux alternatives. Suede is soft, elegant, and unique—but it requires gentle care to maintain its beauty.
Always test any cleaning method on a small, hidden area first.
What You’ll Need
- Suede brush
- Soft, clean white cloth
- Pencil or art gum eraser
- Blunt knife or plastic edge
- Emery nail file (optional)
- Baby powder or cornstarch
Removing Dried Stains & Scuffs
Step 1: Cloth
Gently rub the stained area with a clean cloth to remove surface dirt.
Step 2: Eraser
Use a pencil or art gum eraser to lift remaining marks.
Step 3: Emery File
Lightly scrub stubborn stains only if needed.
Removing Oily Stains
Apply baby powder or cornstarch to the stain and let it sit for one hour. Brush away and repeat until oil is absorbed. Finish by brushing to restore the nap.
Removing Liquid Stains
Blot immediately with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry naturally. If needed, follow dried stain removal steps.
