Suede leather really is such a lovely type of leather and is used in all sorts of different products including jackets, shoes, handbags and furniture. However there are many folks that shy away from buying anything made from suede because they know how difficult it can be to keep clean. If you have decided to buy a suede products anyway and have got it dirty in some way, then you really need to know the different methods of cleaning it before you do anything silly.
If you simply start scrubbing away at the suede without any understanding of what you are doing you will only ruin it. And of course, suede doesn’t come cheap. So be careful if you decide to do the cleaning yourself. Otherwise it might work out cheaper in the long-run just to get a professional cleaning company to do it for you.
When cleaning dirt off suede leather make sure you allow the leather to dry out thoroughly before you do anything else. You can then go over the suede with a bath towel as this will bring up the nap. If the dirty stains are just small you can use a pencil eraser to rub off the dirt. If there are larger bits of dirt on the suede then you can use a nail file to try and get them off. However do this with care because you could easily cause irreversible damage.
When you have completed the above steps, you can then use what is called a suede brush to brush the dirty area very gently. If the stains on your suede have been caused by oil then you can use a special degreaser that has been specifically formulated for sued leather.
Have a look for suede cleaning kits that include everything you will need for cleaning your suede garments and furniture without you worrying about whether or not you are using the correct products or not.
Another thing you will want to consider is how you are going to help prevent your suede items from getting dirty in the first place. There are suede protectors on the market that can be used for this very purpose. They don’t have to cost a lot of money and will work very well at keeping the suede looking in good condition. There are also waterproofing products which are ideal if you think the suede is likely to get wet at any time.
An additional tip for keeping your suede in tip top condition is to brush the surface with a suede brush on a regular basis. By doing this you will raise the nap and clean it at the same time. Neatsfoot oil compound can also be used on the rear side of the suede as long as the rear side is smooth. It’s a great product for nourishing and restoring your leather products. However make sure you don’t use it on the top of the suede and also just use it on a small area to test it.
Again, please make sure you know what you are doing before you attempt to clean dirt off suede. Make sure any product you use is specifically for suede or untreated leather. If you buy the wrong product you could end up damaging the suede forever. If in doubt take the suede to a professional such as dry cleaner who knows what they are doing.

This is along the same lines as a poster a few posts back. Where would it be best to put our suggestions to improve the new website? I think it'd be cool to list say, the top 500 or 1,000 np holders on each server or each nation along with how much np they have.

Now I know for a fact I've discussed this before in this thread, but seeing as how the posts are fairly scattered, I'll address it directly. But seriously people, is it so hard to read the thread prior to asking questions?

Y'know, I was certain that I already answered this question, but my search-fu has failed me.

Anyway, having an Undying Scroll or similar item in the PUS has been suggested before and discussed, but there are currently no plans to implement such a thing. That may change in the future, but for the moment, no.

After the program has performed its check-list, let it send the findings to a GM; then let the program perform different actions against the cheaters. The program could, like the original idea, be set to spawn monsters on the cheaters, or the program could be made to send the cheaters to jail. The program could ban the accounts of the characters themselves.

No, you cannot purchase new EXP or DISC Premiums until your current Premium package has completely expired, even down to the last remaining hour.

I already mapped out every zone in the game with anti-wall hack coordinates and sent it off to the developers months ago. It's just up to them to get the whole thing refined and implemented, which they've been doing in bits and pieces.
