How to Remove Stickers From Suede

Tips

Suede leathers have a delicate, unfinished surface that makes them difficult to clean. While sticker-removing solutions will work on finished leathers, they can permanently damage suede textures.

Sticker residue can be difficult to remove from suede.

If you’ve put a sticker on your suede jacket that has left a sticky residue, you will need to follow special steps to clean it off.

Things You Will Need

+
  • Tweezers
  • Pencil eraser
  • Fingernail file
  • Suede brush

Tip

Never use adhesive removal solutions on suede, as they can permanently damage the texture and nap. You can use fine-grit sandpaper if you do not have access to a fingernail file. Have the suede professionally cleaned if you cannot completely remove the sticker.

  • Peel off the sticker slowly so as much of the sticker is removed from the suede as possible. Use tweezers or your fingers to pick off the leftover adhesive.

  • If there is sticker residue, gently rub a pencil eraser over it until it is gone.

  • If there is still residue, gently rub it with a fingernail file. This will remove the top layer of suede along with the residue, so use care not to rub too vigorously.

  • Brush the suede with a suede brush to restore the nap.
