FAQs

Can this kit be used on suede shoes that have been treated with other products?

It's generally recommended to test on a small, hidden area first, as compatibility with other treatments can vary. However, the products are designed to be gentle on suede.

How often should I use the Footwear Proofer?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure. For regularly worn footwear in wet conditions, reapply every few weeks or after the footwear has been thoroughly cleaned and dried.

What is the difference between Footwear Pre-Wash and regular soap?

The Footwear Pre-Wash is specifically formulated to clean suede gently without stripping natural oils or causing discoloration, unlike harsh detergents or regular soaps which can damage the material.

Can I use the Crepe Brush on other materials?

The Crepe Brush is designed for suede and nubuck. Using it on smooth leather or synthetic materials may not be effective and could potentially cause scuffing.

Is the Deodoriser Spray safe for the inside lining of shoes?

Yes, the deodoriser spray is safe for the interior lining of footwear. Ensure the footwear is dry before application for best results.

How long does the Footwear Proofer last?

The water-repellency effect typically lasts for several wears or until the footwear gets significantly wet or dirty. Reapplication is recommended after cleaning or exposure to heavy moisture.

Does this kit come with instructions for each product?

While this guide provides an overview, each product within the kit should have specific usage instructions on its packaging. Always refer to those for detailed application steps.

Troubleshooting

Suede still looks dull after brushing

Ensure you are brushing in multiple directions to lift the nap. If the material is significantly matted, a light application of the Footwear Pre-Wash might be needed first to soften the fibers before brushing.

Water spots appearing after treatment

This can sometimes happen if the Proofer was not applied evenly or if the footwear was saturated. Reapply the Footwear Proofer evenly and allow to dry fully. A light buff with the crepe brush can help.

Persistent odor not removed by spray

Ensure the footwear is completely dry before using the deodoriser spray. For stubborn odors, allow the spray to sit for a longer period, or consider airing the footwear outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

Stains not fully removed by pre-wash

For deep or old stains, you may need to repeat the pre-wash process. Gently work the cleaner into the stain with the crepe brush. For very tough stains, consult a professional footwear cleaner.
