Default How to get Marshmallow off of suede? %#$*!!!!

To make a long story short, some A-hole got marshmallow all over the suede on my seats! WTF, right! How do I get it off? I am pretty sure the seat is ruined. This sucks, the seats were perfect, not a single blemish.

I already know that hot water will remove the marshmallow easily, but I am pretty sure that you can't soak suede or you will ruin it.

I am going to pull the seat out and try vinegar. I also got a small wire-brush. We'll see what happens.

No wire brush! Just use hot water. It won't ruin the 1/2 fake suede.

And that other stuff washes right off also.

That is what they tell you to use on suede. Look it up and you will find suede wire brushes

If these are the backseats, you can literally pull the bottom seat off, then with whats either a 10 or 15, you can remove about screws... (4 are accessible after you pull the bottom seat off from the inside, and 4 are accessible with the trunk open from that end).

Then you can lift the entire seat out and clean it outside the car.

I got all of the marshmallow off. I dipped a paper-towel in burning hot water and rubbed it. It came right off instantly.
