Troubleshooting

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish matching the 'Light Bone' color may be used sparingly.
