However, if you removed the item before it burned too far into the couch, you may be able to remove the mark or at least to make it less noticeable.

  1. Rub an eraser over the burn mark on the couch. This will remove some of the black or brown soot associated with the suede burn.

  2. Rub a piece of fine sandpaper over the burn mark on the couch. This will remove the top few layers of the suede and help to remove the burn mark. Work until the stain is gone or less noticeable but don’t rub too hard as it could bore a hole in the suede couch.

  3. Brush the suede with a suede brush to restore the nap on the couch.

Things You Will Need

  • Eraser
  • Fine sandpaper
  • Suede brush
