Note to Lorna who has the towels/oil problem- I used Amway’s SA8 laundry liquid- just spray it or dilute it in bath and soak , wash x2 it worked wonderfully to remove even the rancid petroleum smell from my clothes!

Hi Tim,
You could try a pencil eraser gently worked over the marks followed by a brush with your suede brush or if all else fails try rubbing with some white vinegar.

Hello!

I need advice as to how to clean suede shoes. In the rain the other day the toe caps got wet and have left a kind of white-ish salt mark around the big toe area. I’ve tried warm water and gentle brushing with a suede rubber brush but to no avail. (The shoes are dark brown)

Many thanks for any advice.

Tim

Re the above two comments it might be worth trying some distilled white vinegar in the rinse for the towels. Suede is difficult but I have heard of trying fullers earth powder you can get it from the chemist.

Good Luck!

I am an aromatherapist and, over time, my towels have become infused with oil and even hot washing will not remove this so they are heavy. I do not want to replace them if possible but am at a loss as to how to remove oil from such a large quantity of material – all cotton. Can you help?
