To ensure the longevity and appearance of your suede Nike ACG Rufus Mules:
Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray before first use to repel water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently brush away debris in one direction.
Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar on a clean cloth. Dab, do not rub, and allow to air dry.
Drying: If wet, stuff the mules with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Avoid Water Immersion: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation.
