How do I clean suede?! - a hurricane Harvey casualty

[Bob Blea]

I use Oxalic Acid to clean mold of leather.  It's stronger than vinegar so I'm a little more confident it's really killing off the spores.  But I've never tried it on suede.  I've used lemon juice and it works well, but again I've never tried that on suede either.

I am in the same boat as Bob - never used organic acids on suede. Just pointing out that vinegar will dry up all by itself, leaving no traces.

One concern though, is that grocery store vinegar may contain other unwelcome substances, like sugar for instance. You never know what they spice things with to inflate sales! If I were to use vinegar on suede, I would buy glacial acetic acid from the drug store or chemical supply instead.
