Proper care will significantly extend the life and maintain the aesthetic appeal of your RC42 shoes, especially given their suede and mesh materials.
Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and surface debris, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush away particles. For mesh areas, a soft, dry cloth can be used.
Deeper Cleaning:
For suede sections, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Apply sparingly and avoid excessive moisture.
For mesh areas, a mild soap solution (like diluted laundry detergent) and a soft cloth can be used. Gently wipe the affected area, then blot dry with a clean, damp cloth.
Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage or fade the materials.
Protection: To safeguard against water and stains, consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
