How to Care for Suede Shoes Without Ruining Them
🧵 Why Suede Needs Special Attention
Suede shoes are soft, stylish, and incredibly classy—but they’re also fragile. Unlike leather, suede absorbs dust and stains quickly and can get ruined with water or harsh cleaning methods.
At Helios India, we understand how valuable your suede collection is. Here’s your complete guide to caring for suede shoes without damaging them.
✅ What You’ll Need
-
A dry cloth
-
Eraser block (for minor scuffs)
🧽 Step-by-Step: How to Clean Suede Shoes
1. Let Dirt Dry First
If your suede shoes are dirty or wet, don’t touch them immediately. Let them dry naturally to avoid setting the stain.
2. Brush Gently
Once dry, use the Helios Suede Brush to gently lift dust and dirt from the surface. Always brush in one direction to preserve the nap.
3. Remove Scuffs with an Eraser
Use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser to rub away minor marks. Brush again afterward to restore the texture.
4. Use a Suede Cleaner for Deep Cleaning
Apply Helios Nubuck & Suede Shoe Care Combo for deeper stains. Spray lightly and gently work it in with a brush. Wipe off any residue with a clean cloth.
5. Spray to Protect
Finish by applying Sneaker Wall Protect Spray. It forms an invisible barrier to block water, mud, and oil. Let your shoes dry for at least 30 minutes.
❌ What NOT to Do with Suede
-
Never wash suede shoes with water
-
Don’t use regular polish or leather creams
-
Avoid storing them in humid places
-
Don’t brush aggressively—it damages the texture
🧳 Pro Tip: Store Them Right
Keep your suede shoes in soft cotton shoe bags, not plastic. Use cedar shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb moisture.
