Step 1 — Brush regularly

Use a crepe brush or suede brush after every few wears to lift dirt and keep the nap upright. Always brush in one direction for an even finish. This alone prevents most suede problems.

Step 2 — Remove marks and stains

Dry marks and scuffs disappear with the Suede & Nubuck Eraser or Cleaning Block — simply rub them away. For deeper dirt, use Suede Cleaner or the eco-friendly EKO Suede Foam with a brush, then let the shoes dry naturally away from heat.

Step 3 — Revive the color

Faded or patchy suede comes back to life with Suede Renovator Spray in a matching shade, or the EKO Suede Dabber for precise touch-ups. Always test on a hidden spot first and brush up the nap once dry.

Step 4 — Protect against water and stains

Suede is vulnerable to rain. Spray Anti Rain or EKO Anti Rain evenly over clean, dry suede and let it dry completely. Repeat monthly and always before wet weather.

Golden rules

Never use smooth-leather cream or polish on suede, never dry suede on a heater, and treat whole panels rather than small spots to avoid water marks.
