Suede is sure attractive. The downside is, it's NOT DIY cleaning-friendly at all, but you CAN do maintenance to keep it up. Time to invest in a small kit; http://www.leatherworldtech.com/SuedeNubuck.aspx

More tips; (note the remark in this link" Too bad it's such a terrible beast to clean" )http://www.ehow.com/how_3139_clean-suede.html


...that sums suede up pretty well. You may have to get to know your local professional dry cleaner, which may still be problematic since the suede is not portable like a coat etc. If you keep after it and don't spill anything on it, chances are you'll never have to go to that extreme. Good luck Blu.
