Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your suede sneakers.
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a suede and nubuck protector spray. This helps repel water and prevent stains. Follow the product instructions carefully.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to restore the nap.
- For scuffs and small marks, use a suede eraser to lightly rub the affected area.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Apply according to the cleaner's instructions, typically with a clean cloth or sponge, then blot dry.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and light.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing them to heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions.
