How this pair is cleaned, and what will not come out.
Suede and nubuck
- 01Let mud dry completely. Wet mud pushes into the nap; dry mud brushes off.
- 02Brush the whole panel with a brass or crepe brush, always in the same direction.
- 03Work dry marks with a crepe rubber eraser, then brush the crumbs away.
- 04For a water mark, dampen the entire panel evenly rather than spot-treating, then dry it flat and brush the nap back up.
- 05Re-apply a protector spray after cleaning, and always before the first wear.
Comes out
- Dry mud and dust
- Scuffs where the nap has been flattened rather than removed
- Light water marks, if the whole panel is treated evenly
- Salt marks
Stays
- Oil and grease — on nap they spread further and faster than on smooth leather
- Dye transfer
- Areas where the nap has been abraded away to the base, which cannot be regrown
- Marks set by heat drying
- Never put these in a washing machine.
- Never use a smooth-leather cream or wax on nap: it mats the fibres flat and does not come back.
- Never spot-clean with water on one small area only. Treat the whole panel or you trade a stain for a ring.
- Never use a brass brush on smooth leather.
