ABOUT GLOVES AND BAGS
Steel wool, such as is used for cleaning aluminium can also be used as an effective medium for treating and renovating suede gloves, handbags and shoes. It raises the pile to the required degree without being so destructive as the usual wire brush. The white of an egg well beaten, and applied to Morocco leather that has become dulled, will provide an excellent restorative. Apply with a sponge, and allow to dry on as in this way it will restore the subdued shine essential to real Morocco. Washing suede is a fabric, not a leather. Gloves made from it should be washed on the hands using warm suds. Rinse in lukewarm water and dry slowly to prevent the gloves from becoming stiff, as they are liable to do this if dried quickly in the sun. Since gloves and handbags are expensive accessories, regular care may save much unnecessary expense. For that reason the above hints will prove of value if they are carefully followed.
