I noticed that a few people have commented on maybe adding a piece of Plexi Glass to the top of this....... Sorry I forgot to say in the post that I went and purchased some Plexi glass and have it sitting on top of the Door.... It's not shown in the picture cause I purchased it after I had taken all the pics... Sorry for the confusion... But thank you all for your input :)..... It definitely is a must for sure..... a lot easier to clean and no food getting into all the Crevices ......

  • Sandpapering the insole. The top layer of the suede comes off but that's okay. It's hard to believe.
  • Not perfect.  Not new. But not embarrassing anymore.
  • Pretty darn clean.

How to Clean Suede

I brought out my summer sandals and found that the suede insoles were very soiled looking. See below. ...»

I remembered my mother saying that you could clean suede with sandpaper. I thought, 'Wow, that's weird' and it stuck in my head. So I tried it!

Guess what? It WORKS!!

Has anyone ever tried this?

I think it will work on any brushed leather (suede)... but be careful when trying this... try an inconspicuous place first. In my case, it didn't matter because I was ready to throw these sandals out. So whether I ruined them, it didn't matter. But it worked!!! YAY!

Thanks for viewing. Linda
