How remove Oil Stains from Suede and Silk

How remove Oil Stains from Suede and Silk



1. Cover the stained area with baby powder (talcum powder) until the spot does not show. Leave for 3 days.

2. Check the spot by brushing off the powder using a densely bristled shoe brush (a toothbrush can also substitute).

3. If the blot is still there, pat some more baby powder on, and leave for a few days again, repeat until stain is removed.

This method really works! I tried it out myself one day when I accidentally spilled oily dipping sauce all over my charcoal suede boots. Immediately, I went to the washroom to pat it off, but it was already too late. The suede, being an extremely absorbent material, had already accepted the oil with welcoming arms.

I researched how to remove the splotchy oil stains from the material, and finally explored this method. It worked like a charm!
