Getting butter out of suede loafers.

[mm84321]

Hi. I was just cooking earlier and a few drops of butter landed on the suede shoes I was wearing. (Don't ask me why I was wearing suede shoes whilst cooking; I just was.) Anyways, what would one use to get butter stains out of suede without damaging the nap? The stain in question:

Thank you for your time.

1. Give up
2. Sell on ebay as "buttery soft suede"
3. ???
4. Profit

I had the same problem with a pair of EG suede shoes the first time I wore them.

All is not lost, this is what you do:

Go buy a new box of Arm and Hammer baking soda.

Cover the area in question foe a few hours with the soda.

Brush it out.

Repeat as necessary and do it to the other shoe so they match (the soda make it slightly dusty and thus lighter.)

You can't even see where the stain was now. I left one of the applications in over night.

Sorry, but I lolled at the thread title. Was convinced it was a troll thread.

Thanks! I will try this; though I do like the prospect of being able to say to people, "Hey, look at my buttery suede shoes".

take it to a nearby shoe place? They always seem to be able to fix it.

Why? I just told him how to fix it. I had tried taking it to a shoe place and they told me the shoes were trashed. Baking soda worked perfectly for $1.75.

If he's like me, he not only wouldn't have baking soda, but he would probably ruin it further

Good point. I'll take it to my cobbler: he's old and Italian, i.e., he knows what he's doing.

I vomited all over some medium tan dress shoes on a Saturday. Took them to the local leather/shoe/cobbler on the following monday. Came back perfect.

Yes, a lot of that was used, but the baking soda did the most work. You don't have to worry about it ruining anything--it is mild.

My EGs are a light tobacco suede and I dropped Humas on them (olive oil). All I can say is I am happy with how well it worked.
