What is Washable Suede?
Suede is a soft leather material made from animal skin, including sheep, pigs, deer and calves. Washable suede can come in one of two types — real suede and synthetic suede. Real suede can be made washable if it is treated with an enzyme and then washed. Faux suede is not made from animals at all, but is a manufactured microfiber fabric. It too is coated with an enzyme to make it resistant to stains and more durable than real suede. Imitation suede can be hard to distinguish from leather suede, and it is usually laundered without any special treatment.
