1. Cleaning

Remove Surface Dirt: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove any surface dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to lift the nap of the suede.

Use a Suede Eraser: For tougher stains and marks, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the stained area until the mark is gone.

Wipe with a Damp Cloth: Lightly dampen a cloth with water and gently blot the stained area. Do not rub, as this can damage the suede.

2. Stain Removal

Use Suede Cleaner: Apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth or sponge and gently work it into the stained area. Follow the instructions on the product label.

Blot Excess Moisture: Use a dry cloth to blot any excess moisture from the suede.

3. Restoring the Nap

Brush the Suede: Once the suede is dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Brush in various directions to lift the fibers and restore the texture.

Use a Suede Stone: For heavily matted areas, use a suede stone to gently lift the nap and restore the texture.

4. Protecting

Apply Suede Protector: Use a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Spray evenly over the surface of the shoes and allow to dry completely.

Avoid Moisture: Try to avoid wearing suede shoes in wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from heat sources.

5. Storing

Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep suede shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

Use Shoe Bags: Store your suede shoes in breathable shoe bags to prevent dust and dirt accumulation.
