Machine-wash Ultrasuede cushions, pillows, and slipcovers (check the labels — many home furnishings are made of this material) on the delicate cycle using a mild detergent, such as Woolite. Line-dry or tumble-dry on a low temperature setting. Clean suede and Ultrasuede upholstery and suede accessories by brushing lightly with a medium-bristle suede brush (sold at shoe-repair shops).

Care Tip: To remove stains on Ultrasuede (pictured, bottom), apply a mild detergent, such as Woolite, and water. Rub to form suds, then rinse. To get out stains from suede, contact a cleaning professional. Look in the Yellow Pages under "leather cleaner."
