Care & Maintenance
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the quality and appearance of your suede Gazelle Trainers, especially given they are for active children.
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush (nylon or brass bristles) to gently brush off dry dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to keep the texture even.
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks or stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner designed for spot treatment. Gently rub the eraser over the mark, then brush the area.
- Deep Cleaning (Rarely): If deeper cleaning is needed, use a dedicated suede cleaning solution, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Avoid: Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry suede trainers. Do not use harsh chemicals, soap, or water directly on stains without proper suede cleaner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
