Cleaning suede

[Ferzerp]

I have suede sections on my door panel, and the center strips of the seats are suede. My current strategy has been "nothing that may be a danger may enter the car" but I know eventually these will get dirty. Any suggestions on suede? I know we have another thread going on generic cleaning, but suede seems to be a bit of a different beast.

I have this same question, except the suede is on my seats, so they're already dirty.

+1 for interest.

Are you sure it's actual suede and not some polyester blend?

Use a protectant if you'd like:

Actually, looking at the website, they're calling it "suede microfiber" which is not leather. Actually, makes me less concerned about cleaning difficulty. Good. Thanks for pointing that out. At least the strip on the seat is (making the seats mostly leather, with cloth sections down the center. weird.). Now to research the door panels.
