To ensure the longevity and appearance of your suede Vans Knu Skool, follow these care guidelines:
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a clean cloth. Apply sparingly and blot, do not rub aggressively.
Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains or general dirtiness, use a specialized suede cleaning kit according to the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
