Care Instructions
Maintaining the quality and appearance of your suede and leather trainers is essential:
- Pre-Treatment: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant spray designed for suede and leather before first wear. This creates a protective barrier against spills and moisture.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Dust and Dirt: Use a soft-bristled brush (a dedicated suede brush is ideal) to gently brush off loose dirt and dust. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
- Stains: For minor stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Gently rub the eraser over the stain. For tougher spots, a damp cloth with a mild cleaner specifically designed for suede/leather can be used sparingly, then blot dry immediately. Avoid saturating the material.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage the material.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can discolor or damage the materials.
