I'm not sure this went thru the first time
I washed a suede coat that had been previously drycleaned and now it has a large dark mark where it looks like dry cleaning chemical was used to remove a stain. Does anyone know if I can get this out or if I have ruined the coat. they wanted 50 dollars to clean a 70 dollar jacket so I thought I would try myself, Any ideas

Leather cleaning is best left to a professional. There are many different types of leathers, finishes, and dyes. Suede leather, in particular, is fussy about cleaning, and DIY cleaning tends to be less than satisfactory. Whether or not washing the suede coat is ruined would have to be determined by a professional leather cleaner.
