Care Instructions for Suede: Maintaining the quality of your suede flats is crucial for longevity.
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray's instructions.
- Brushing: Use a suede brush regularly to remove loose dirt and dust and to restore the nap (the raised fibers) of the suede. Always brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or dry dirt, use a suede eraser (or a clean pencil eraser) to gently rub away the mark. Afterwards, brush the area.
- Wet Stains: If the suede gets wet, do not rub. Blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause cracking or fading. Once dry, brush to restore the nap.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store your flats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
