Use alchohol swipes, or a q tip blotted in rubbing alchohol. Test in a hidden spot first! Always be gentle and rub with caution. This worked on red popsible stains on our leather couch. Good Wishes!

I was able to remove latex paint from a suede leather couch with rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush.

go to your local shoe department and purchase suede shoe cleaner and it should do the trick.

Re: Suede Couch

For everyday cleaning, it’s best to use no cleaners at all. Simply vacuum the surface with a soft upholstery attachment. An occasional brush with a nylon lint brush will keep the surface looking fresh and new. For spot cleanings and stain removal, there are several different cleaners that will safely remove stains from suede. Gentle cleaners such as Woolite, Joy, Ivory Liquid, or Tide powder can be mixed with water and used to spot clean. Dry cleaning solvents, such as K2R, or Blue Coral “Dri-Clean” Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner can also be used for stubborn, oil based stains.
