Suede Cleaner for Oil

I use (very inexpensive!) granules for grease/oil on shop floor. I use coffee bean grinder to make fine powder (comes in 1/4 inch granules) and rub into oil stain on suede shoes. Voila! It works! Let it sit for a few hours to let powder absorb oil.

Editor's Note: This sounds like it would work. Make sure to invest in a good suede brush and brush out the granules. Also, buy a grinder at a garage sale for this use.

Just removed salad dressing from favorite suede shoes. Thanks so much for the corn starch tip

I have successfully used cornstarch on clothing to get out fresh oily. greasy. stains (salad dressing)
sprinkle cornstarch over stain and wait until cornstarch fully absorbes the grease/oil, brush off with soft bristle brush. repeat if needed.
