REAL Suede or IMITATION ??

IF it is a suede couch, it could be nu-buck, in which case I would refer it to a professional leather cleaner.

If it is imitation suede (,macro suede / micro suede), these can be hot water extracted with care.

Checking inside the zipper can help tell what they are made of, sometimes the care label will say if it is leather.

Some of the fabrics are flocked and can be sensitive to solvents.

I personally have no qualms in cleaning any of them.

Training in cleaning any of these is essential.

Cheers,

Shorty.

Ditto what Shorty said!A little clarification though;smoke removal is a restorative issue not cleaning.

I think I'll pass over this one, she doesnt have any thing else in the house to clean and i've never cleaned one...It is imitation though. Thanks again!
