Care and Maintenance
The suede material of your Handball Spezial Trainers requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity.
- Protection: Before initial wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray. This helps repel water and prevent stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning:
- Allow any dirt or mud to dry completely.
- Use a suede brush to gently brush off loose dirt. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- For tougher spots or scuffs, use a suede eraser (often called a 'suede block') to gently rub the affected area.
- For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Never use water or harsh chemicals directly on suede, as this can cause permanent damage or discoloration.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
