Troubleshooting

Suede becoming matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the texture and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or specialized cleaner may be required.

White leather showing scuffs or discoloration

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper scuffs, a white shoe cream or touch-up pen might be necessary.

Yellow accents losing vibrancy

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and be cautious with cleaning agents that could affect the color.
