the magic eraser is awesome! i bought one and it works really well, but you do have to persevre with it (it wont wipe it all away in a flash)

Maybe this deserves a new thread but ere will do.
Suede soops seem to be a problem we all have!!well keeping them clean or cleaning them up anyways!!
I just took delivery of some 35th badboys which where ex display so are alittle not dirty but not boxfresh looking even though there new,tagged etc.
Now has any1 found the solution or something that works with restoring suede or cleaning it up?????????????
all tips are welcome and appreciated as eva pokey

isnt there a funny little brush you can use on suede?
RE: How to keep your Kicks fresh -
Lorrie - 15-04-08
yeah, or try a suede block. it works like an eraser when you rub it on suede.
