Leather

  • Clean dust and surface soil with damp cloth or sponge
  • Spot clean more serious dirt or stains with detergent or saddle soap. Do not saturate.
  • Test in an inconspicuous area before proceeding further.
  • Pat surface with a clean soft cloth and dry slowly away from a heat source (stuffing damp shoes with tissue will help maintain shape)
  • SUEDE

  • Treat clean, dry suede shoe with waterproofing products.
  • Clean by gently brushing with a wire brush. Spot clean soiled surfaces with suede cleaner.
  • Dry slowly away from a heat source (stuffing damp shoes with tissue will help maintain shape.)
  •  

     

    Canvas and other Fabrics

  • Machine Wash in cool to warm water
  • Do Not bleach or use detergents or pre-spotting agents with chlorine additive; this may cause yellow discoloration and weaken the fabric.
  • Dry white and light color shoes in a dryer or other heated area to prevent discoloration. Other colors can be air dried regularly.
  •  

     

    Velvet, corduroy, tapestry, brocade, barkcloth, wool, special fabrics and felt:

    • Hand wash in cool to warm water. Use cold water for wool and felt.
