the base become wet, a dry cloth should be used to blot the excess
liquid, then allowed to dry thoroughly. Once dry, a suede brush
should be used to gently lift the nap. Some superficial dirt may be
removed from the Suede with a soft white eraser used in a gentle
circular motion, followed by the light stroke of a suede/nubuk
brush.
