This is how a 4th generation dry cleaner cleans a $5,500 Ralph Lauren purple label stained from a brief stint in the rain. Because it’s fur lined with a suede shell I’m going to have to do this entirely by hand. The good news is that fixing water damage on suede is pretty easy, here’s how to do it and what you need:
1) Grab a suede stone, lint brush and/or a light bristle brush. Very gently, rub the rain stained areas in different directions. Don’t go too hard as you will remove some of the suede which is not fixable!
2) Once I finished that, I wiped down the fur lining with dry cleaning solvent.
3) Then I depilled the cuffs and waistband.
4) Lastly I brushed out the fleece shearling collar to make it softer and look new again.
Quite a few steps, just needed some time and came out well 😊
