Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner can be applied following product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather shows scuff marks
Gently buff the scuff mark with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or shoe polish matching the color may be necessary.
