Care Instructions for Suede
Suede is a delicate material that requires specific care to maintain its appearance.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This helps repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray manufacturer.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Use a suede brush (often with both wire and rubber bristles) to gently brush off loose dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
- For scuffs or stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser to gently rub away the mark.
- Avoid using water directly on stains.
- Deep Cleaning (if necessary): For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
