Nubuck care

1. If wet, never use heat to dry nubuck leather. Instead, dab with a microfibre cloth and allow the leather to dry for 24 hours.
2. Using a soft bristle brush, remove as much dirt as possible by brushing in a circular motion. For a more thorough clean, moisten the brush in warm water mixed with a mild soap, or suede cleaner and gently scrub the affected area. Deep stains might require the gentle application of a suede leather eraser.
3. The next day, brush the nubuck in a soft, circular motion.
4. Apply a nubuck specific waterproofing product 2-3 times a year, especially in rainy season.

Suede Care

1. If wet, use a dry cloth or microfibre towel, dabbing away excess water, being careful not to rub or wipe the water into the suede.
2. After dabbing the excess water, use a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush to lightly brush the affected fibres back and forth, removing excess dirt. Do not brush in a circular motion.
3. Use the soft bristle brush, the next day, to brush the suede back and forth.
4. Apply a waterproofing product 2-3 times a year, especially in rainy season.
