Clean suede and nubuck shoe uppers

Normal Stains

Supplies Needed:
A spoon, soft bristled brush, cloth, suede/nubuck eraser, Fresh Flow Shoe Trees

Push the suede eraser in one direction or back and forth along the dirtiest spots to clean the suede of the shoe upper
If you see any color on the suede eraser when working on darker shoes, be extra gentle when rubbing dirt spots so you don’t pull too much color from the shoe
After the initial brushing and use of the suede eraser, use a clean dry brush to brush off any bits of eraser, dirt dust, and restore the natural nap of the suede

Supplies Needed:
A medium bristled brush, suede/nubuck shampoo, bowl of water, cloth, toothbrush, paper, Fresh Flow Shoe Trees

Cover a workspace with a large rag, towel, or newspaper and set down shoes
Remove laces and set aside
Insert Fresh Flow Shoe Trees into shoes or boots
Brush off dirt and debris with soft-medium bristled brush (preferably horse mane). Make sure to get into all gaps and crevasses
Dip cloth into water then into a trusted suede/nubuck shampoo and work the mix into a lather
With the brush covered in the mix, lightly scrub the complete surface of the suede/nubuck in an even motion
For larger boots, section into 4-6 main areas and clean one area at a time
After every application, wipe off shampoo with dry, clean cloth

If dirt remains in any area, reapply shampoo and wipe off after a minute of scrubbing. Use a toothbrush or paint brush to work the soap into tight crevasses as needed.
Wash off shampoo with a light water spray under the sink. Do not saturate the shoe with a heavy water flow
Once the shoe is completely rinsed off, pat dry the full shoe with a dry cloth
Remove Fresh Flow Shoe Trees and stuff paper into shoes to allow airflow and the paper to soak up some of the internal moisture.
Let the shoe dry for 24 hours
Remove the paper and reinsert Fresh Flow Shoe Trees
Using a light-medium bristled brush reset the nap of the nubuck/suede by brushing around the shoe in one direction
