Product Information

To use the foaming cleaner, you will need a suede brush and a soft cloth. First, wet the brush with water and then add a small amount of the cleaner to the sponge, or lightly but generously spray it on your shoes if it’s in form of a spray. Next, gently brush the entire surface of the shoe with the foaming cleaner. Be sure to go over any especially dirty areas. Finally, wipe off any excess cleaner with a soft cloth.

It may sound counterintuitive, but if your suede loafers or mules get wet in the rain or get splashed with water, it isn’t that big an issue: simply dry them thoroughly and give them a good brushing. However, oil and grease stains pose a more severe problem. Try using a stiff-bristled brush and some suede eraser (or try Oliver Cabell’s Premium Shoe Cleaner ) on them to get the stain out. If this doesn’t work, you may need to seek the help of a professional cleaning service. Instead use a sponge to clean, then apply a thin layer of oiled leather cream. This neutral cream will maintain the matt, waxy finish of the shoe and maintain its water-repellency. Start with the bristle side of the brush to remove the dust and dirt and then restore the nap with the gentler nodule side of the brush. For grease/oil marks, cover affected area with corn flour (maize flour) and leave overnight Stain will be attracted to theflour. Suede protector spray is easy to use and can be found at most stores that sell shoe care products. Simply spray the area you wish to protect and let it dry. Be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle carefully so that you do not damage your suede.Work against the grain: When cleaning the scuff marks or stains, use gentle, circular motions to rub the cleaner into the leather. Start from the edges and move towards the center, working against the grain. This will help to lift the marks without causing any damage to the leather. Unfortunately, mine weren't quite caked, but were fairly smattered in nasty looking mud. But what to do? Well, after some careful research (and even more careful testing), here's some tips for cleaning these kinds of skateshoes. Gently brush off the dust and visible dirt from the surface of your shoe using a self-cleaning sponge. A small brush or even a clean washcloth will do fine if you don’t have a self-cleaning sponge. But a self-cleaning sponge offers the benefit of restoring the nap of your shoes. The first step is to remove any loose dirt and dust from the surface of the leather. Simply use a soft cloth or brush and gently wipe the leather in a circular motion. This will help remove any surface debris before moving onto the next step.

For best results, allow the shoe to dry overnight before cleaning. Dry mud will come off easily if you use a stiff bristle brush the next morning. Use Stain Repellent SpraysYou love your suede shoes! Don’t we all? But wearing suede boots or suede shoes for two to three days in a row is not a great idea. Pro-tip for wearing suede shoes : don’t wear them two or three days in a row. Give your shoes at least a day’s break before wearing them again to keep them from wearing out too fast. Also, if you have trouble putting them on, use a shoehorn. This raises the short protein fibers called the nap, making the surface of the material smooth and soft. Sanding also removes any imperfections and markings that might be found on the hide.
