Instruction manual
1
If you want to keep your shoes in excellent condition for a long time, do not wear them in wet weather. Moisture very quickly destroys the structure of the material and spoils its appearance. Do not use suede shoes for long walks. Before the first exit, be sure to treat it with a special water-repellent spray. It protects suede from the harmful effects of dirt, moisture and dust. Apply the product evenly on the surface of the shoe and dry it for 12 hours. Repeat the procedure periodically.

Dry your shoes thoroughly before removing dirt. Dry dirt and dust can be cleaned with a special suede brush or flannel cloth. A sufficiently effective tool to combat stains is a special shoe or regular school eraser. It will not only remove dirt, but also significantly raise the pile and visually update the suede.
3
Treat stubborn dirt and stubborn stains with special stain removers for suede and nubuck. Modern means in the form of foam cleaners allow you to delicately penetrate into the very depths of the contaminated area. Apply foam to shoes from a short distance and gently spread with a cloth. Wait 1-2 minutes and wipe off any remaining cleaner from the surface of the suede. Dry your shoes well.

Fatty, overgrown places eliminate liquid ammonia. Mix 1 tsp. alcohol and 5 tsp water. Moisten the brush with the prepared liquid and carefully treat the greasy area. After the procedure, raise the pile with a suede brush. Restore the structure of the material can also be in a "water bath". To do this, bring the shoes to boiling water and hold for a few minutes. Then gently wipe the material with a soft cloth.

After the suede is cleaned and dried, start restoring its color. For this, a special spray paint suitable for the color of your shoes is suitable. Spray the coloring agent from the spray can from a distance of 15-20 cm. Dry your shoes again and treat them with a rubber brush.
