How to apply Suede dry cleanerUpdated 23 days ago
Suede dry cleaner:
To clean suede boots with a dry cleaner, start by removing loose dirt with a brush, then spot test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area. Apply the cleaner to a clean cloth, not directly onto the suede, and gently blot the boots, working from seam to seam. Avoid saturating the suede and allow the boots to air dry completely before brushing them with a suede brush to restore the nap.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Preparation:
Remove loose dirt: Use a soft-bristled suede brush or a clean, dry cloth to remove loose dirt and debris from the boots.
Spot test: Before applying the cleaner to the entire boot, test it on a small, hidden area to ensure it doesn't discolor or damage the suede.
2. Applying the Cleaner:
Dampen a cloth: Apply the suede cleaner to a clean, dry cloth, not directly onto the suede.
Blot the boots: Gently blot the suede, working from seam to seam to avoid creating watermarks.
Avoid over-saturation: Do not soak or saturate the suede with the cleaner.
3. Drying and Finishing:
Air dry: Allow the boots to air dry completely in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Brush the suede: Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove any remaining dirt or residue.
