Note: Do not wash with water. The correct method is to use multi-purpose foam, or you can brush off the dirt with a brush. You can contact a car detailing shop for professional cleaning by experts.

When cleaning the suede in my car trunk, I usually start with a comprehensive treatment, as years of driving experience have taught me a thing or two. First, I use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris to prevent them from dirtying the suede later. Then, I prepare a mild detergent and gently scrub stubborn stains, like grease, with a soft brush or sponge, using specialized foam for oil stains. Remember to open the trunk for ventilation to avoid residue damaging the suede. Finally, rinse off excess liquid with a damp cloth and let it air dry naturally. This method is perfect for cars with deeply embedded dirt, and regular cleaning prevents odors—my car smells much fresher since I started doing this. If the suede turns yellow, adding a disinfectant spray can kill bacteria and prolong the interior's lifespan. The whole process takes about half an hour, and I recommend doing it monthly to maintain hygiene.
