AS lovely as suede shoes might be to look at, there’s no denying that they’re an absolute nightmare to keep clean.
But while most of us only dare to wear them on dry and sunny days, one mum was left fuming after her daughter took a risk and wore her new suede trainers in the mud… and let’s just say, it did NOT go well.
Posting on the Facebook group Mrs Hinch Made Me Do It, the mum initially asked the thousands of members for advice to get them clean.
She wrote: “HELP – my daughter borrowed my new trainers without my knowledge.
“They were suede beforehand and now covered in mud.”
And while we would have thought the pale pink shoes were beyond saving, the mum managed to get them looking as good as new thanks to one of Mrs Hinch‘s favourite products.
Sharing amazing before-and-after photos, the mum raved about Elbow Grease spray – which you can pick up for just £1 in The Range.
She explained how she sprayed the multipurpose degreaser spray directly onto the shoes, brushed them down and then washed them with warm water.
What’s more, cleaning fans have previously used the bargain-friendly spray to clean everything from filthy staircases and dining room chairs.
The woman’s post in the group prompted other members to share their tried-and-tested tips for cleaning suede.
One replied: “Wait for mud to dry and brush off with a suede brush.”
Another suggested: “White vinegar and baking soda made into a paste then scrub with a toothbrush then put them in the washing machine.”

And this mum shared her genius bathroom cleaning hack which means you’ll never have to deep clean your shower again.
Plus this mum got her greasy oven grills gleaming again using £1.99 product & people reckon it looks brand new.
