How to Clean Suede Shoes?

It is important to dedicate ourselves to understanding how to clean suede shoes. Suede shoes are strong and resistant. However, like everything that is truly natural, it also ages. After all, everything that matters deserves to be preserved. So, here are some tips that can help you the next time you are looking to maintain and care your suede shoes.

To start with, like any shoe, it is important to let it rest for an hour, allowing it to breathe after spending all day wearing shoes. If the shoe has become wet, then put a remplissage inside, so that it can absorb the water and then we suggest to place the wooden form.

Do not forget to keep them away from direct sunlight or any sources of heat. To clean suede shoes, you should use the brushes made for that purpose, and a warm, delicate, damp cloth should be applied to the shoe. Carlos Santos Shoes has a shoe care kit available with an appropriate brush for this type of treatment.
