How To Clean Suede Shoes? Check Out Step-By-Step Guide

Suede shoes are a must-have for everyone. Whether you are a fashion enthusiast or not, these shoes add charm and comfort to your style providing warmth in winter. However, the velvety material is also more vulnerable to catching dust, grime, and oil. You must take good care of your suede shoes to ensure their longevity. 

If you have a pair of stylish suede shoes in your wardrobe, here are some easy ways to maintain them with a few ingredients available at home. 

How To Clean Suede Shoes?

Step 1: Dust It Off

Your suede shoes are very likely to catch dust and loose particles. To clean your shoes, the first step that you must follow is to take a dry cloth or a brush and dust these dry particles off the shoes. For wet particles or grime, try rubbing delicately to ensure it doesn’t spread. 

Step 2: Rub The Stains

Erasers are very effective in removing dust and marks from suede shoes (Shoe Cleaning Solutions). If dusting off does not help, take an eraser and rub off the affected area on your shoes. It may be more helpful towards dust and dry particles than wet ones. 

Step 3: Use Vinegar

Suede shoes do not only catch dry particles and dust flakes but also stubborn grime and oil patches. These marks cannot be removed easily until you use a strong solution. Vinegar is one such ingredient which can fetch you good results. Take a microfiber cloth, dip it in white vinegar and water solution, or just vinegar, depending on the intensity of the grime. Gently rub the affected area to ensure it gets cleaned up.

Step 4: Use Baking Soda

Oil and grease marks on your suede shoes may not get removed even with the help of ingredients like vinegar and rubbing alcohol. This is where baking soda could be effective. Fully cover the affected area with some baking soda and let it rest for a few hours to absorb the oil. Once done, brush it off.

Step 5: Suede Protector Spray

Even though most suede shoes come with a dust and moisture-repellent coating, you must double protect it with suede protector spray to avoid further damage.
