How to Remove Paint from Suede
To remove paint from shoes made of beautiful, velvety suede, you’ll need a few supplies. You’ll want to have a toothbrush, water, dish soap, white vinegar, and cornstarch on hand. First, mix together one part water and one part vinegar. Next, soak your toothbrush in the mixture and then begin scrubbing at the paint spot. Focus on being gentle so that you don’t damage the delicate suede surface.
If the paint is still not coming off after a few minutes of scrubbing, it’s time to make a paste. In a bowl, mix together equal parts cornstarch and dish soap. Once it’s mixed well, apply the paste to the stained area with a brush or your fingers. Wait 15-20 minutes for the paste to dry before gently brushing it off with your toothbrush. The paint should come off easily at this point!

– First, identify the type of leather you’re dealing with. This will determine what kind of cleaners or solvents you’ll need to use.
– If the paint is fresh, you may be able to simply wipe it off with a damp cloth.
