G'Day There,

I have recently started my own environmentally friendly carpet and upholstery cleaning business.

I am not very confident cleaning leather and suede so was hoping i would be able to get some tips on the best way and method of doing so???

Cheers
Ash

One trick I use with suede or synthetic suede, like alcantara, is finish by dry brushing lightly with soft bristles to help pick up the fibers, then go over it with a crevice tool on the vacuum to give it a very even look. Keeping the crevice tool an 1/8" or so above the fibers prevents matting the fibers again. I've also been know to use compressed air to blow them back up to achieve an even look.
