Care Instructions
The suede material of your Samba trainers requires specific attention to maintain its quality and appearance.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, it's highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Brush Gently: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away blemishes.
- Deeper Stains: For more stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Follow the product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, as this can damage the suede.
- Avoid Water Immersion: Do not machine wash or immerse your suede trainers in water.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
