Depending on the material and degree of soiling, different types of cleaning are considered. Popular items made of nubuck and suede require careful care using special products. Excess moisture negatively affects their rough surface, so specialists at the UNMOMENTO dry cleaner recommend treating such shoes with water-repellent sprays immediately after purchase. This creates an additional barrier to moisture and significantly facilitates future cleaning.
Cleaning procedures begin with removing dry dirt and dust with a special brush. Then the surface is carefully treated with steam and left to dry for several days. You can put thin paper inside and change it periodically. This action helps maintain shape and speeds up the drying process. It is forbidden to use heating devices for this, as they can cause deformation and cracking.
For suede shoes, a cleaning foam is used, which after drying is easily removed along with the dirt. For artificial suede, the same products are suitable as for natural suede. Cleaning suede shoes with steam using a rubber brush lifts and smooths the nap well.
Stubborn stains on nubuck can be removed with an eraser or a brush with soft metal bristles. To avoid problems, unknown products should be tested on a hidden area. Do not use soap solutions or products intended for smooth leather, as they can irreversibly damage the material.
When treating the outside of items, do not forget about the inside. After all, cleaning winter shoes from the inside removes odors and prevents the growth of bacteria that appear in a moist environment.
For deep cleaning of stubborn stains, color restoration, and care of particularly delicate shoes, it is better to seek professional services. In this case, the necessary procedures will be carried out using high-tech equipment and safe, high-quality products.
Proper shoe cleaning not only improves appearance but also significantly extends the life of the item. Moreover, beautiful and well-groomed shoes always characterize a person positively.
