Hydrogen Peroxide really does clean your dirty suede/buck work boots. It makes them look almost like new. Pour the hydrogen peroxide in a small bowl, grab a stiff brush and clean cloth, and start cleaning up those waterproof boots. This really does work, and work very well.
My boots were so dirty from wearing them out in the yard for gardening, etc. that I thought I was only going to be able to wear them around the yard only. I was wrong! My boots look almost new, now that I cleaned them with H2O2s/3% strength. I even changed the shoe laces and replaced them with speaker wire. My friends and family are shocked by the transformation. Do it folks! You won't be sorry.

I used this last night on grease soaked toes of suede boots. I used peroxide and a suede brush and a new white clean towel. Dab the area with peroxide, brush with suede brush. Repeat 4 times.
Finally, apply more peroxide, then pour baking soda over it and let it set for 12 hours. Shake off baking soda and brush it in all directions. No stain! I thought they were ruined but they are looking great!
After you remove the stains, spray them with suede protectant and water proof spray. Must do this!
Excellent tip-I have suede boots that have salt stains from winter&I never would've thought of hp to clean them,they're my favorites but look so bad-thank you! My mom's going to love this one too,esp since her weakness is shoes,I know she'll be at it all weekend. Happy V-Day.
This one is new on me. I wonder if it works as well on boots that have been waterproofed? I have a pr. of suede Ugg-type boots that have gotten grimy. I wonder if I would have to waterproof them again after cleaning?
Hmmm. Only took off about 10% of the dirt on my white suede vintage toddler shoes. Some sections it didn't clean at all, one section along the edge of one shoe it took about 75% of the dirt, but the rest (and they are very dirty) it hardly touched. Tried cornstarch but that didn't work at all.
