At BOBO’S, we pay special attention to the selection of materials and leathers used to make each shoe. In the case of suede, we always choose the highest quality, despite knowing it is a delicate material.
Following our philosophy of responsibly buying timeless pieces that last over time, we're going to tell you how to extend the life of your suede BOBO'S .
Suede is a soft and delicate material, obtained from the inner layer of the skin. Unlike the leather we usually see in footwear, it has a matte, fuzzy appearance. At BOBO’S, we have several models made from this material, and that's why we're going to tell you how to clean them.
Cleaning suede shoes requires the use of products and materials specifically designed for this type of material. You can find many options online: brushes, spray cleaners, water protectants… special care. Most of us are used to taking care of all our shoes, but we need to be especially careful with those made of suede. Therefore, it's essential to use products specifically designed for this material , such as suede brushes, textile cleaners, and suede protectors.
Before cleaning your suede shoes, you should consider the type of stain on the suede and the shoe itself , as not all stains are the same. Pay attention to each type and learn about the aspects we take into account at BOBO’S.
If dust and surface dirt are causing the stain, we recommend gently brushing with a suede brush to remove it. This will make cleaning your shoes much easier.
If the stain on the suede is from scuffs or foot traffic, use a mild textile cleaner . Apply it with a soft cloth and gently rub the stains. Be patient!
Grease, oil, and moisture are more difficult stains to remove. However, there are some home remedies that can help absorb grease or moisture . One such trick is to use talcum powder or cornstarch, and then gently brush the shoe.
Finally, paint stains can also affect your suede shoes. If you want to remove these types of stains, we recommend carefully removing the paint . To do this, use a damp cloth or a cotton swab with a suitable cleaner.
If you have any of the stains mentioned above on your suede shoes, you're probably wondering how to clean them. If so, here are all the steps to follow to make them look like new.
First, you should brush the shoe. Use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust from the surface . This step is essential to remove any dust that may have accumulated on the shoe.
Next, you should apply a fabric cleaner. In this step, you need to apply the fabric cleaner with a soft cloth , working it gently and evenly into the stains. The fabric cleaner is very important to avoid damaging the suede.
In the third step, it's time to rinse the shoe . We recommend using a damp cloth to remove the cleaner and any stains . However, be careful not to get the suede too wet, as this could damage the shoe.
Next, remove the excess water. With a dry cloth, remove any remaining water to prevent damage to the suede, as we mentioned in the previous step.
In the next step, brush the shoe. To do this, brush the shoe in the direction of the suede fibers to restore its smooth, even texture. The direction you brush the fibers is very important.
Next, let the shoe dry. We recommend allowing the shoes to air dry naturally . However, it's important to avoid direct sunlight or intense heat.
Finally, brush the shoe again and apply the protector . You'll need to wait until the suede shoe is completely dry before doing this. The protector will help prevent future stains and damage.
Similarly, if your suede shoes are light-colored, the cleaning steps are the same as those we've already explained . By following these steps, we're sure your suede shoes will look great and be ready to continue being the star of your outfit. We don't want you to lose the elegance that defines you.
