To clean the inside of suede slippers, use baking soda, a suede brush, a vacuum, and a gentle cleaning solution.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Deodorize with Baking Soda: Sprinkle baking soda liberally inside the suede slippers.
-
Work it In: Use a suede brush to gently work the baking soda into the lining of the slippers. This helps the baking soda absorb odors and dirt.
-
Let it Sit: Allow the baking soda to sit inside the slippers for several hours, or even overnight, for optimal cleaning.
-
Vacuum the Baking Soda: Thoroughly vacuum out all the baking soda from the inside of the slippers. Use a hose attachment for better reach.
-
Prepare a Gentle Cleaning Solution (if needed): If the lining is heavily soiled, mix 2 cups of warm water with 1 teaspoon of wool wash or a very gentle detergent.
-
Dampen a Cloth: Dip a soft cloth into the cleaning solution, then wring it out until it's just damp, not soaking wet.
-
Gently Wipe: Gently wipe the inside lining of the slippers with the damp cloth, paying attention to heavily soiled areas.
-
Air Dry: Allow the slippers to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help them maintain their shape and absorb excess moisture. Change the paper towels periodically as they become damp.
