Light jackets
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your RC42 trainers, especially due to their suede and mesh construction.
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs on the suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush. Gently brush in one direction to lift dirt and restore the nap.
Mesh Cleaning: For the mesh areas, lightly dampen a soft cloth with mild soap and water, then gently wipe the soiled areas. Avoid saturating the material.
Deeper Cleaning (Suede): For tougher stains on suede, consider using a specialized suede cleaner and protector. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and mesh materials periodically to help protect against moisture and dirt.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
