This is probably the best way to clean suede without using a specialised product or tool.

Clean Suede Shoes with Lint Roller

Suede is a stylish choice for shoes and accessories, but this material quickly gets dirty and starts looking shabby.

The light adhesive will collect the dirt, without ruining the suede.

Grab the salt to remove the grease stain while it’s still fresh.

Remove Grease a Stain With Salt

Getting a grease stain on your clothes when you aren’t home doesn’t mean you need to put up with the unsightly spot during the whole day. Dampen the spot with little water (don’t over-soak it) and pour table salt generously over the area without pressing or rubbing. Let it sit for 15 minutes to let the salt soak up the grease, then carefully brush the condiment off. The method conceals the spot, especially on dark clothes, prevents it from becoming a permanent stain and makes it easier to wash the garment later.

Apply a few drops of olive oil on a soft cotton cloth and gently rub the surface you want to condition. Don’t use this trick for light-coloured leather to prevent unwanted staining. You can use colourless petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to treat light leather goods and furnishings safely.
