How to clean suede shoes

Suede shoes are difficult to clean and require a lot of patience. You can follow these steps:

1. Remove dust. (Vacuum cleaner available)

2. Use a shoe stretcher to prop it up first.

3. Use a special brush. Note that the copper wire surface should mainly be used to treat areas with heavier stains and polished areas. First use the eraser side to brush in one direction, and use the side surface for the seams. Focus on rubbing the stain in circles, then rub it with copper wire.

4. Wipe with a damp sponge to wet the shoe surface. The purpose is to mainly deal with water-soluble substances.

5. Shake the cleaner well and spray it on the surface. Use a rubber brush to brush back and forth repeatedly to remove stains on both sides of the fiber, and absorb the dirty foam with a damp sponge.

6. Let it air dry for more than ten minutes. When the fur is slightly dry, use the rubber side to brush it in one direction while it is still damp to spread out and tidy up the fur.

7. Let the shoes air-dry for half an hour. After the uppers are dry, stuff newspapers inside the shoes for protection. Spray the renewal agent evenly at a distance of 15 cm from the shoes. Renewal agents contain brighteners, colloids (to enhance the adhesion of other substances), pigments, solvents (to dissolve mixed substances), etc. The purpose of spraying renewal agent is mainly to replenish color. Black shoes tend to turn white after being worn for a long time, so it is best to use a color renewing agent.

8. After drying, use a rubber brush to make the color uniform.

9. Finally, put the desiccant in the storage

Tips for cleaning suede shoes

How to clean suede shoes? Here I will share with you some tips on cleaning suede shoes, I hope it can help you!

First use a raw rubber brush to brush off the loose dust, shake well before use, and spray evenly at a distance of about 15 cm from the leather surface. (Fill the lining of the shoe with soft cloth or newspaper before use) In addition to being sold in specialized leather shoe care stores, this type of care product can also be purchased in general supermarkets. Just ask the salesperson.

Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dust from the leather surface in the direction of fur growth. If you find that the leather suede turns white after long-term use, how do you maintain this type of suede shoe? You can use a copper wire brush to gently scrape off the white hair in the direction of fur growth (this is a special method of use and should be used as little as possible). Since the suede surface has a natural two-color effect, even a slight whitening can be regarded as a characteristic of the leather.
