Suede cleaning and maintenance tips
-
Regular dry brushing: Remove accumulated dust by gently brushing the surface with a brush specifically for suede or nubuck.
-
Stain treatment: For dry stains, rub gently using a special eraser for suede footwear.
-
Preventive waterproofing: It is recommended to periodically apply a neutral, suede-specific waterproofing spray to protect the shoe from water splashes and dirt stains.
-
Air drying: If the inside gets damp, remove the insole and let it dry naturally in the shade in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct exposure to radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight to keep the leather texture intact.
