Product Information

Unlike most conventional (also referred to by cobblers as “full-grain”) leathers, suede is not made from an animal’s external skin. Rather, it’s made with the underside of the skin . In biology-speak, if regular leather is the epidermis, suede is made with the dermis – the inner layer – which is softer and more delicate in nature. Also, while cowhide or deerskin suede exists, the material is usually sourced from sheep and goats. Use a clean cloth dipped in distilled white vinegar, and wipe it over the affected area in circular motions. The vinegar will dissolve the salt. Anyway, they are mostly clean aside from the salt-stains on them, and I was wondering if you have any thoughts on how I could remove said stains using what's available to me over here? I thought about trying your vinegar/water combo, but I figured I would ask first if you thought this would be a goodidea. For best results, allow the shoe to dry overnight before cleaning. Dry mud will come off easily if you use a stiff bristle brush the next morning. Use Stain Repellent Sprays

Whichever one you choose to use, the process is exactly the same: brush the stained area lightly, moving in both directions. Don't press too hard, and keep working at it until the stain is gone. Some of these items will produce residue as you rub, so you might want to take this job outside or place sheets of newspaper down. Carry out a patch test on an inconspicuous area of your shoes before starting. You want to make sure the product is not going to change their color. You love your suede shoes! Don’t we all? But wearing suede boots or suede shoes for two to three days in a row is not a great idea.Shake the excess water from the toothbrush and apply the solution to your shoes in a circular motion. You should see foam on the surface of the shoes. Next, apply a small amount of white vinegar to the oily patch using a soft cloth. The cloth should be damp, not soaking wet - wring it out if necessary. Rub the damp cloth over the affected area in a circular motion and allow the vinegar to break down the oil.

For this reason, it is best to always test new products on a small patch that’s not easily seen before using it on the entire shoe’s surface. By doing this, you can prevent irreparable damage that’s difficult to hide. You may accidentally step into puddles or mud. These things can happen even if you are careful. But not to worry, your footwear is not likely to get damaged on the spot. There are a couple of options depending on the colour of the leather and the severity of the issue: If you've not already, try drying the shoes completely, then rubbing the affected areas with a pencil eraser. If that doesn't work, and the leather is already 'damaged', you may wish to try using a very dilute soap and water mixture; lightly clean the area then allow to dryagain.

A suede brush (they come in all shapes and sizes; a photo of one here - I bought mine from Timpson's) To help prevent future stains, apply a thin layer of beeswax or silicone spray to the shoes before wearing them. This will help to create a barrier against dirt and stains. Start by preparing the leather: Use a soft brush or a clean cloth to gently brush away any loose dirt or debris.

Spray restorer is a better choice because it’s easier to control the coverage and colour intensity.

Start with the bristle side of the brush to remove the dust and dirt and then restore the nap with the gentler nodule side of the brush. At the Leather Colour Doctor, we have a wealth of experience in this field, and we'd like to share some of our knowledge with you.

Unless you’ve managed to get your leather item very dirty indeed, it’s probably not a great idea to soak it in water, as this can cause damage to the structure of the leather itself. Thankfully I got them at a very low closeout sale price wherein they just happened to have my size, so even if they're a loss it's not that big of adeal.
