How to apply Nubuck cleanerUpdated 17 days ago

To apply a nubuck cleaner to a pair of boots, start by removing loose dirt with a brush, then apply the cleaner evenly, and finally, brush the nubuck in the direction of the nap. Avoid using artificial heat to dry the boots. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • 1. Prepare the boots:
    Begin by removing any loose dirt or debris from the boots. A dry brush, ideally a nubuck or suede brush, is recommended. 

  • 2. Apply the cleaner:
    Use a nubuck or suede dry cleaning spray and apply it evenly to the boots, holding the can about 5 centimeters away,

  • 3. Brush the boots:
    After applying the cleaner, use the brush to gently brush the nubuck in the direction of the nap. This helps to lift dirt and restore the texture of the material. 

  • 4. Dry naturally:
    Allow the boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. 

Important notes:

  • Avoid using excessive amounts of cleaner, as it can saturate the leather. 

  • If you're unsure about the cleaner or application method, test it on a small, inconspicuous area first. 

  • For stubborn stains, consider using a specialized stain remover designed for nubuck. 

  • Regular maintenance, including brushing and occasional conditioning, will help keep your nubuck boots looking their best.
