1. Cleaning suede
Suede (also called nubuck) refers to all velour-like leathers with a velvety, textured, or roughened surface. This makes them more prone to dirt than smooth leather, but they are still easy to keep looking great with proper care.
①
Do not let the shoes dry; instead, clean them immediately under lukewarm water using the mentioned brush. To avoid edges, moisten the entire shoe. Please remove and clean the laces before cleaning.
②
For stubborn stains, use a special cleaning eraser, such as our Cleaner.
③
For grease stains, here’s a home remedy tip: first dab with a paper towel (do not rub!), then spray the stain with dry shampoo, let it work, and finally gently brush it out with a suede brush.
As with any shoe, regular cleaning and care are especially important for open-pored suede: It pays off! Neglect can cause the fine leather fibers on the surface to look unsightly, creating smooth patches. By regularly roughing up the fibers with a soft suede or cleaning eraser, you can prevent this effortlessly and maintain the noble, velvety appearance.
2. Caring for suede
After removing dirt from your suede shoes by brushing or with water, only apply care products once the shoes are dry and ideally fitted with a wooden shoe tree.
①
After cleaning, apply our Nubuk + Textil. This protects the leather quality and provides solid basic protection for color and appearance. Give the spray some time to take effect in the surface fibers.
②
Finally, gently brush and then impregnate with Carbon Pro.
