It's wonderful for touching up your shoes when they only need a little attention. Again, think regular maintenance. A horse hair brush is perfect for regular use. It removes excess dirt and provides a nice gentle cleaning. It is the most versatile suede shoe brush. It is something we recommend starting with the majority of the time.

For snow and water stains, dab on white vinegar, using circular motions over the affected area – the acid in the vinegar is good for breaking down salt.Avoid breathing in the vapors of SAHARA spray. Wear a mask or scarf, apply it in a well-ventilated area and vacate the room for at least a few minutes after use. Have more leather to clean?

Look at how lofty and generous the bristles are, not to mention plentiful. Brushing with one of these does wonders for any shoe. For suede, there are three types of brushes. All have different pro's and con's. Let's discuss them.

Using lint-free cloths prevents leaving traces of fluff on the shoes – a piece of an old t-shirt will work fine, there's no need to buy a special cloth. Allow the leather cream to dry; you can buff the shoes with a soft brush or clean cloth if you want to achieve more shine. Shoe trees help your shoes keep their shape. They help prevent creasing. They help them last longer by absorbing excess moisture. They even keep them smelling fresher longer (from the above). The other staple is brushing. Brushing helps remove surface dirt and dust. It provides gentle cleaning and lessens scuff marks. It also activates and distributes shoe care products. It is absolutely indispensable for all leather shoe care. All our products have been subjected to exhaustive testing. However, since every leather is unique, both in terms of the raw materials, products employed and tanning methods used in its preparation, we recommend that a test be made on a less visible part of the article prior to the application of any leather care product.

If your shoes are muddy, allow the mud to dry then brush off. A damp cloth can be used to wipe off dirt but it should only be slightly damp, not wet. Once the shoes are dry, use a soft-lint free cloth to apply some leather cream in a matching colour. All shoe care, regardless of what type of leather, involves brushing and shoe trees. As well as basics such as using shoe horn and letting your shoes rest. Similarly, vegetable leather is made by tanning the animal hide in tannins derived from tree bark. However, unlike chrome leather, this is less environmentally harmful. It results in a smooth finish in the leather that develops a rich patina with time and is considered highly desirable. Conclusion The method for using a suede brush and eraser is straightforward. All you have to do is brush or rub the material using the tools and vary the strength based on what type of stain or marks you’re dealing with. Start with gentle circular motions when removing stains/marks on your item and then slowly increase your strength if the gentle cleaning is not enough. First, this article is about brushing and regular maintenance, not deep cleaning. We'll provide additional information on using suede cleaner, heavy cleaning, and stubborn stains in another article. Hint: you don't use diluted vinegar as some (misguided) people suggest.

On softer leather shoes, a cream tends to penetrate and nourish the leather better than a harder wax polish, like those that come in a tin. Wax polishes can give a very high shine finish but don’t nourish the leather as effectively. However they can be very good at covering scuffs and are therefore handy for children’s shoes.

However, these aspects can also be considered its Achilles heel since to obtain them, the leather receives no protective finishing coating. Thus, it is one of the most vulnerable leathers and should be a well thought-out choice.
