Removing dirt from suede shoes


Do not worry if you have already released your shoes and you have not been able to prevent them from getting dirty. If the stain is not very deep or if they just collect dust, you can easily remove it. To remove dirt, all you need is a sponge or a toothbrush with soft bristles.

You have to do it in the same direction as the hair of your suede shoe so as not to damage them and keep them looking new. If it resists, you can remove the stain from the suede by gently wiping a school eraser or, if you want to do it quickly, simply wipe a damp cloth in the same direction as the fabric.

Remove mud and liquid stains


If it has rained and mud has splashed on you or if you have gotten some liquid, it is best to wait for the stain to dry. This will make it much easier to remove the stain: just rub a little with a cloth or a delicate brush to remove it. There are some special metal bristle brushes for suede, but be careful. Do not squeeze or you will damage the skin too much.

Clean grease stains


Try not to get grease on the suede footwear, because it is very difficult to remove. But if you have not been able to avoid them, we give you some tips to eliminate it. Use a brush and apply a little ammonia. You have to be careful, do not rub too hard and, when you finish the process, let the shoe rest away from the humidity and the sun. Another trick is to wipe with a cloth moistened with a little vinegar, then let it dry and rub with a brush.

We also have a tip in case ink has gotten on your shoe: try putting a little cellophane on the stain and peel it off, you will get it to remove.

You know, do not give up on beautiful and elegant suede shoes because they are delicate, since by following these tips you will always wear them impeccable.
