Suede shoes cleaning...any help appreciated.?

I have a pair of brown suede boots which had cooking oil spilled on. Now there are 2 big oil marks on the front of the shoes and I have no idea how to get rid of it. I%26#039;ve tried everything but the 2 splotches are still there and ruining my perfectly nice boots. Can anybody tell me what%26#039;s the best way to get oil out of fabric so my boots can get back to looking the way they should again. I appreciate any advice. Thanks

First try to use cornstarch, talc, salt or borax placed dry over the oil to absorb it out of the suede. You may have to change it several times as the powder becomes saturated with the oil it draws out. Then get foaming suede cleaner from the shoe repair shop or in some discounters. Shake the bottle up and use a toothbrush to grab some of that foam up and work it into the remaining stain left by the oil. You may have to do it several times, and then brush the nap up. You will know when all of the oil is removed when there is no longer a shiny spot where the oil was and the nap can be brushed up. Sometimes on light suede you will have a little darker spot remaining which you can obscure by raising the nap to the dark side all around it.
Reply:There is suede cleaner sold in stores.....maybe shoe store is best.....It will take several applications for oil.





If you have not already ruined them I would try Eskie%26#039;s method first then use the suede cleaner.
Reply:Oil on suede boots. forget it.
Reply:They do sell suede cleaners, but I hate to tell you oil is one of the worst stains to get out. I wouldn%26#039;t hold out too much hope.....
