Cleaning Suede Shoes

1. Let any mud on your shoes dry completely.

2. Using a suede brush, make short strokes going in one direction.

3. For scuff marks, use a suede eraser with moderate pressure.

4. Water stains can be removed with more water. Gently apply water to the entire shoe with a sponge. Blot with a soft towel and let air dry.

Always read any instructions that come with your shoes before you start to clean them. For hard to remove stains, you may need to visit your professional shoe repair shop.
