Rules for cleaning suede shoes

When using the above recipes, consider the color of the shoes so as not to aggravate the situation. If you had to use water to remove the stain, absorb excess moisture with clean tissues and towels. If creases have formed, steam the shoes in an accessible way, and then restore the pile with a stiff brush.

Cleaning light-colored shoes

When purchasing special products for removing stains from white, cream, peach suede shoes, be careful. It is necessary to choose a composition whose ingredients are not able to affect the color of the processed material. To check, apply it first to the area from the inside. If light suede shoes get wet, dry them on a clean towel.

1. Remove dirt and greasy stains with a mixture of 100 ml of skim milk and 0.5 tbsp. l. soda / 10 ml of ammonia. Using a sponge, brush or brush dipped in the mixture, gently wipe the stained area. Finish cleaning by gently blotting the area of ​​the former stain with a cotton pad dipped in water. Alternative: table vinegar, slightly diluted with water.

4. Use a crumb of white bread to remove fresh stains. Do not rub hard - you will noticeably damage the structure of the pile.

Cleaning colored and black suede shoes

In cleaning colored shoes, the aggressiveness of the purchased product is important. Carefully read the instructions, purpose, check the composition on the inside of the product. If you need to restore a shiny area of ​​suede on a dark brown pair of shoes at home, it is acceptable to use coffee grounds instead of steam. A brush is wetted in it, which then processes the desired area. After drying, remove coffee grains with a dry brush.

Black suede can be restored with typewriter ribbon. Grease stains are removed with delicate lotions using a cotton pad soaked in gasoline. Fine sandpaper also removes stains and restores lint.

Wet suede care

No one is immune from getting caught in the rain in suede shoes. If you do not use a water-repellent spray, your shoes will probably get wet through. Remember, it is unacceptable to clean products made of this material when wet. Proceed according to the instructions.

1. Stuff the shoes with paper so they don't warp while drying. If the product is made of light suede, take clean paper, in no case a newspaper!
2. Dry away from radiators, sources of intense heat. Periodically change the filler, which will absorb moisture. If you put the shoes on the battery, the material is likely to deform, the soles may be damaged (may burst).
3. Remove dirt and stains with a special brush.

• Moisture is the primary enemy of suede products. To avoid getting wet, treat the shoes with a moisture-repellent spray and a special brush immediately after purchase. It is recommended to repeat the procedure three times after the next drying of the impregnation. The agent forms a transparent film that protects against water and street dirt, makes the material more elastic. Even if you manage to get the suede dirty after pre-treatment, it will be much easier to clean thanks to the aerosol.
• Stains should be removed as soon as possible.
• Remove pollution of any origin without a complete wash, because suede is “afraid” of moisture. Spot treat the stain with the selected composition, then blot it dry.
• Keep your brush clean. Light suede is easy to stain with a dirty tool. Operate the brush in one direction so as not to smear the dirt or create abrasion.
• Color restoration is carried out with the help of special creams and aerosol paints. The choice of shade is the most crucial moment in this process. Check the paint on the inside. You should not replace the desired shade with similar ones in tone - ruin the shoes.
• Out of season storage means thorough cleaning. Put shoes in the closet, filling with paper or inserting special blocks to keep their shape.

Suede differs from leather in less practicality and more fastidiousness. At the same time, it is soft, comfortable, takes the shape of the leg. The rapid loss of a presentable appearance is due to improper care. Use the recommendations received, and the shoes will last more than 1 season, delighting with a chic look.

Suede leather products have a special noble look.

Such shoes are not just a tribute to fashion, but, above all, comfort when walking and comfortable to wear.

Suede products require constant and careful care. Find out how to keep her elegant look for a long time without resorting to big expenses.

What is suede?

Suede is a velvety leather obtained in a special way from the skin of an animal. For the manufacture of suede, both the skin of cattle and small cattle, such as deer or roe deer, can be used.

Artificial leather can also be used as suede. In this case, artificial suede will be inferior in quality to a similar material of natural nature.

It is worth noting that some velvety fabrics obtained from artificial materials are also called suede.

Whatever velvety material your pair is made of, it is worth remembering that it requires careful care and a special way of storage.

Pros and cons of suede material

Have you purchased suede shoes? When you get home, carefully consider your purchase.

Most often, such products have a specific smell, for some people it may even seem unpleasant. It's all about the composition of the dye, which is used to give the product a beautiful rich shade.

To get rid of an unpleasant smell, take the shoes out of the box and let them air out for a couple of days. There will be no trace of the smell.

Do not leave them to dry or air out in the sun. Under the sun's rays, they fade very easily, and it will be quite difficult to return the former color.

Suede wardrobe items require special care, so you are unlikely to find those that are recommended by the manufacturer for wearing in wet, damp weather.

A warm summer day, dry autumn or spring weather, frosty winter - these are, perhaps, all the days on which you can afford to put on a suede pair.

Most often, such items attract with their neat appearance. They always have a touch of elegance. Perhaps that is why most men and women prefer suede.

How to stretch suede products?

How is it that you have an amazing pair of suede leather on the shelf at home, but it is small for you?

This usually happens in the following cases:

• You liked the pair on the counter in the store, but they are a little cramped for you. You buy it with the hope of breaking it.
• Suede shoes were given to you.
• You bought a summer model in winter or during an illness. Some people have a slightly narrower foot in winter than in summer. Therefore, when buying shoes in the cold season, it may turn out that in six months, when the time comes to wear them, they will turn out to be small for you.

If the purchased pair is quite a bit cramped, then you can try to stretch it using special tools and methods:

• Take thin cotton socks or stockings and dampen them with hot water. Put socks on your feet and put on tight shoes. Walk a little. Wait until the wet sock is completely dry.

If you work in an office, it will be enough to put on such a pair for a couple of hours and just sit in it.

• Take a thick sock of a large size, soak it in boiling water and pull it over your shoes or boots.

It is worth remembering that if you get your suede shoes very wet, in no case should they be dried with a hair dryer or on heaters. From such drying, it can not only decrease, but also warp.

What should I do if, in general, shoes or boots made of velvety material are the right size for you, but only the toe or heel is tight?

Take soft paper (it can be toilet paper or paper napkins), fill it with the inside of a shoe or boot, and put wet paper in the place to be stretched. There must be a lot of it. Paper stuffed into a shoe or shoe gives it its size and shape.

Some experts advise using alcohol instead of water to stretch suede. It is worth remembering that, using alcohol even from the inside of the product, you can leave noticeable stains and stains on the outer surface of the product. Be careful. Try alcohol first on an inconspicuous area.

How to distribute suede products?

Suede shoes have one interesting characteristic. Over time, it can stretch a little and become big for you.

When choosing shoes or boots in a store, try to roughly determine the thickness of the suede leather used from which the shoes are made.

If the skin is thin and large stretched “holes” are visible on it, which are left from the animal’s hair, then the probability of stretching the product during wear will be minimal.

In this case, you should not take a pair that is close to you or a little tight.

If the suede is thick, with a velvety surface not only on the outside, but also on the inside, then be sure that it will definitely stretch.

In this case, when trying on in a store, consider the ability of the skin to stretch.

How to clean such material?

So, you have become the proud owner of a beautiful pair of suede leather. It is customary to put a sticker with recommendations on how to use the shoes in the shoe box.

• be used in dry weather;
• not to be used in mud.

But what to do if you got into the rain, you were splashed by a passing car, or you walked through the melted snow treated with reagents.

First, dry your boots thoroughly away from heaters.

Then, if stains appear after drying, remove them:

• just clean the stain with a brush for this material or a sponge;
• If the stain cannot be removed with a brush, then first apply a special agent to it, and then brush again with a brush.

A special cleaner for velvety leather can be bought at a shoe store or in a special section of a household chemicals store.

You can not buy a cleaning agent, but cook it yourself at home. In warm water, add soap or dishwashing liquid and pour in a couple of drops of ammonia. Mix the composition thoroughly and apply with a soft sponge on the stubborn stain. Remove foam with a hard sponge or brush. Dry the steam at room temperature.

Salt stains can be removed with a 9% vinegar solution. Dampen the sponge with the vinegar solution and rub the stain. Dry at room temperature. Clean the pair with a special brush or hard sponge.

If chewing gum sticks to shoes or wax drips, a freezer will help. Wrap a soiled shoe, boot, or boot in a plastic bag and place in the freezer. After 1-2 hours, when the product has cooled thoroughly, carefully, piece by piece, remove the adhering wax or chewing gum with a blunt object.

On sale you can find a special eraser for cleaning such materials. Use it in case of small or small stains. Scrub the soiled area vigorously with the clean side of the eraser and the dirt will come off, adhering to the rubber surface of the eraser.

A special eraser for cleaning suede can be replaced with a regular stationery eraser.
