Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede trainers.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Follow the product instructions for application and drying time.
- Regular Cleaning:
- For dry dirt or mud, allow it to dry completely, then gently brush off with a suede brush (a soft-bristled brush).
- For light marks or scuffs, use a suede eraser or a pencil eraser to gently rub the spot away.
- For more stubborn stains, use a suede cleaning solution specifically designed for suede, applying sparingly with a clean cloth and following product directions.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
- Avoid: Do not use water or harsh chemicals directly on suede as it can cause permanent damage, staining, or discoloration.
