Directions for using SuedeSmart™ in a TOP-LOADING MACHINE:
You should expect Smooth Leathers and Suedes to come out very clean with minimal color loss, and minimal relaxation.
Close all garments by Snapping, zipping, or buttoning as necessary. Pour the proper amount of CleanAll™, VITE-ALL™, and SOILaway™ into a measuring cup in the follow proportion:
- CleanAll™ - Add 2 ounces per GARMENT
- VITE-ALL™ - Add 4 ounces per LOAD
- SOILaway™ - Add 2 ounces per LOAD
Set the Water Level to HIGH
Set the Temperature to warm, not to exceed
100 degrees F
When water level is reached, pour the measured amount of
SuedeSmart™ products into the machine.
Put the garments into the washer and wash for the following times:
- Painted Leather, (such as an Athletic Jackets) 3 Minutes
- Smooth Leather 5 Minutes
- Sueded Garments 10 Minutes
Let the machine go through its cycle; Drain, ONE RINSE, Drain, and Extract. Take the garments out of the washer and shake. This will help to prevent uneven drying. If you are using a commercial dryer, put each garment into a separate mesh bag. [Drying and Finishing]

Directions for Drying Leathers and Suedes
- If using a gas dryer, preheat the dryer for 2 minutes before adding garments. This step is not required for steam or electric dryers.
- Put each garment into a separate mesh bag.
- Throw the bags of leather garments into a dryer and dry at 130F for 25 - 30 minutes
- Remove when the seams and pockets are still damp.
- Place the garment on a hanger and smooth out the garment, stretch it and straighten it. The better you do this, the easier it is to finish the garment.
- Allow the garments to hang until they are completely dry.
To Finish Suedes
- When garments are completely dry, place in dryer with low heat for 5 to 10 minutes to soften the leather which causes the active components of SuedeSmart to achieve their full potential.
- Place on a Steam Air Finisher (Suzie). Turn the air on manual.
- With the hot air still on, brush the garment with a suede-brush to raise the nap.
