Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Knu Skool sneakers, especially given their suede and canvas construction:
- Suede Cleaning: For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always brush in one direction.
- Canvas Cleaning: For canvas sections, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the material.
- Spot Cleaning: Address spills and stains immediately with a clean cloth.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider using a protective spray specifically designed for suede and canvas to repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
