Italia Jackets

Any suggestions on cleaning a suede jacket???

I have a really cute suede jacket w/ faux fur trim. It is pretty dirty, enough that I will not wear it anymore, it was cheaper to buy a new coat then take it to the cleaners around here!! OMG they are OUTRAGEOUS!! BUT I really luv the jacket!! ANY suggestions on how to clean it???

1. The price to clean suede is high. I had to have a suede jacket cleaned which had gotten tape residue on it. The cleaning cost me around $40, but the jacket was brand new and never worn, so I felt compelled to pay the price. I was told it had to cleaned by a leather specialist. I would get the jacket cleaned and then keep it clean.
2. You can try the cleaner (canister with a small brush on it) for cleaning suede shoes... That might be the cheapest way to clean it.
3. To clean suede you simply sand it with a very fine sand paper but make sure not to rub too hard and cause holes and in one direction only. The faux fur trim I would gently steam with a kettle. Hope this works for you.
