Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your suede trainers:
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning Suede: For general dirt and dust, use a dedicated suede brush. Brush gently in one direction to remove debris and restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Spot Cleaning: Address spills immediately. Blot liquid with a clean cloth, do not rub. For dried stains, gently scrape off excess before using a suede cleaner.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes that can damage the suede.
