Proper care for your suede Josef Slides will help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan:
Regular Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Apply according to the product's instructions, often using a clean cloth or sponge, then brush the nap once dry.
Water & Stain Protection: Before first wear and periodically thereafter, treat the suede with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. This will help protect against moisture and common spills.
Drying: If your slides get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage suede.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation.
