I'm using a suade shampoo on my Uggs and it says at the end of the instructions to "brush the nap". What is the nap?! :confused3

TIA!
 
"With the nap" means that when you run your hand along the fabric it is soft. "Against the nap" means that the fabric is a little rougher when you run your hand. To "brush the nap" I usually go "with the nap".

Velvet dresses and microfiber couches are a great example of fabrics with nap. When you run your had in one direction the fabric looks lighter, run your hand the other way the fabric is darker.
