Cleaning suede shoes can seem intimidating, but it’s possible to keep them looking fresh and well-maintained. Suede is a delicate material that requires special care due to its porous nature, which makes it prone to stains and scuffs. Start by brushing the shoes gently with the suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust.
Be sure to brush in one consistent direction to avoid damaging the delicate fibers. For stubborn scuffs or marks, use the suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. If you’re dealing with deeper stains, worry not, Turms has the solution for you. Simply apply the natural shampoo in a soft cloth and dab the stained area carefully. Being mindful not to soak the suede. Let the shoes air dry naturally and avoid exposing them to direct heat sources, as this can damage the material. Once dry, use the suede brush again to restore the texture and lift the fibers. For oil stains, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder onto the spot and let it sit for several hours before brushing it off.
To prevent future stains, consider applying a Natural Suede protector, No gas Spray. which acts as a barrier against dirt and moisture. Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area of the shoe first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration. Regular upkeep is key to maintaining suede shoes. Brushing them after each wear prevents dirt buildup. Which can cause permanent stains over time.
It’s also a good idea to avoid wearing suede shoes in inclement weather, as water can easily damage the material. If they do get wet, use the Turms Shoe Tree to help them maintain their shape and absorb moisture, and let them dry at room temperature. With these simple but effective cleaning techniques, your suede shoes will continue to look stylish and pristine for many wears to come
