Suede backed curtains

[Shorty]

How do you clean suede backed curtains. :?:

This is a serious question from me.

What is the process, what solutions, what equipment.

Have not seen these curtains as yet.

The lady say's they are only grubby from kids.

All serious answers shall be gratefully acknowledged.

Thanks & ooroo,

Shorty we would vacuum with a drapery tool (perforate head) to get the dust out of them and clean them by hand, blotting with terry towel and OMS.

I'd be a little afraid of the backing, but as long as you don't soak the drapes it shouldn't affect the backing. A chemsponge works on the Suede.

Be sure to have good ventilation, wear rubber gloves, even a respirator if in tight quarters.

Airmover to speed dry.

Richard's suggestions should work just fine but if not or if using SOLVENTS is not on, I like using Capture powder made by Millican or some Oz equivalent.

Thanks for that.

I have two of those drapery tools, plus chem; sponges, also Capture.

Apart from the Capture, that is basically the way I was going to look at.

I am no longer a fan of solvents as such.

Hopefully, I will see these curtains today, time permitting.

Thanks,

Shorty.

PS ::: I thought the "Sow Sodder" would have chucked his two bob's worth in here.

Yea solvents are not the best solution to use in an occupied home.

Most of the soil is dry you could just vacuum them?

The solvent never seems to make a major difference in appearance, but you can see on your towels that you're removing soil, and oils.

Mostly people like that "dry cleaned" smell. ???
