The Leather Clinic Suede & Nubuck Foam Cleaner for Shoes, Boots, Trainers Remove Dirt & Stains Professional Wire Brush & Cleaning Cloth Included (200ml, 6.7floz)

Product Information

Carry out a patch test on an inconspicuous area of your shoes before starting. You want to make sure the product is not going to change their color. Start by preparing the leather: Use a soft brush or a clean cloth to gently brush away any loose dirt or debris. This will ensure that you’re working with a clean surface. Because of this, it needs special treatment to keep it looking its best and to protect it from damage. Unless you’ve managed to get your leather item very dirty indeed, it’s probably not a great idea to soak it in water, as this can cause damage to the structure of the leather itself.

Sometimes an eraser might not remove the whole stain, but it will help to fade it so that it’s less noticeable. Work against the grain: When cleaning the scuff marks or stains, use gentle, circular motions to rub the cleaner into the leather. Start from the edges and move towards the center, working against the grain. This will help to lift the marks without causing any damage to the leather.

I have red Etnies (Fader is the sub-brand name) which I made the mistake of wearing on a rather long trek through a rather harsh storm over here in the States. They were *gasp* not protected in any way prior to doing this... against my better judgment.

Anyway, they are mostly clean aside from the salt-stains on them, and I was wondering if you have any thoughts on how I could remove said stains using what's available to me over here? I thought about trying your vinegar/water combo, but I figured I would ask first if you thought this would be a goodidea.

How to Clean Nubuck Shoes and Boots

By using a suede protector spray, you can help to extend the life of your favorite pair of shoes. Deodorizing: Use Mild Detergent Shake the excess water from the toothbrush and apply the solution to your shoes in a circular motion. You should see foam on the surface of the shoes. If you buy a kit, make sure you have somewhere to store everything. Kits that come with a zippered bag or pouch make it easy to take everything on the road with you when you travel. You can save time by buying a leather cleaner that also has protector built in. Instead of having to apply multiple coats, you can do everything in one step. Make sure your sponge is clean when you apply the cleaner. A dirty sponge can spread grime all over your shoes.
