The first step to get rid of tar stains from suede is to get a dry cloth or eraser and gently rub area. This should help to remove the majority of the stain. If this doesn't help, you may need to use a suede cleaning brush. Be sure to use a soft brush for this and only brush in small circles with light pressure. Make sure you don't use too much force as you could damage the suede.
Once you have finished brushing tar stain, it's time to use a suede cleaner. You can purchase a suede cleaner from most shoe stores or online. Apply the cleaner to a damp cloth and then gently rub the stain. You will need to be more careful when using cleaner so as not to damage the suede. When the stain is removed, use a dry cloth to wipe away residue.
Finally, you may need to use a suede protector to keep future stains from setting into the suede. You can purchase suede protectors from any specialty shoe store. Apply the protector generously and allow it to dry before wearing the item again.
With these few easy steps, you can have your beloved suede back to looking its best in no time!
