how to clean a suede bag
i have a coach bag that is canvas with suede trim. it's a lighter green color and pretty dirty i tried cleaning it myself with suede cleaner but the "dirt" isn't coming up at all. any advice on where i can take my bag to be cleaned?
ETA: wow!! i googled ways to clean suede and came across several sites that said to use white vinegar. i was scared to do so but i figured it couldn't hurt... it worked like a charm!! all i did was put the vinegar on a white towel, rubbed it on the suede parts of the bag (i scrubbed fairly hard, but not hard enough to take off more than little bit of the color), let dry and brushed with a suede brush! it came out looking almost like new - i am so happy!

Re: how to clean a suede bag
You can try taking it to a dry cleaner. Did the suede cleaner come with some sort of brush? You can try using a toothbrush with the cleaner and brushing in small circles.
