How To Keep Suede Trainers Clean

2024-10-25

Avoid wearing suede when you know it's going to be dirty or wet
This fabric is prone to pick up dirt, and doesn’t respond well to getting wet. If you’re heading out for a walk in the woods, or the weather forecast is warning against rain, consider opting for alternative footwear.

Use suede protector spray
These purpose-built sprays are formulated to shield your trainers from dirt, water, and stains. Applying some spray every few weeks gives the best possible protection.

Brush them regularly
Even when your suede trainers don’t look particularly dirty, consider brushing them every once in a while. This will remove the small build-up of dirt and dust, keeping them looking fresh.

Follow these tips and hopefully you’ll be able to reduce the frequency of needing to deep clean your suede trainers.

How to get stains out of suede trainers
Even with the best intentions, sometimes your suede trainers will pick up stains. Depending on the offending substance, the preferred care routine varies. Here’s what you need to do to remove some common stains:

Removing water stains from suede
Dampen the area around the stain (this sounds counterproductive but trust us!) then use a suede brush to even out the area around the stain as it dries. This technique will dispel the moisture and keep visible damage to the shoe to a minimum.

Removing oil stains from suede
Sprinkle some corn flour onto the stain - only a small amount - and leave it for a few hours. The oil will soak into the corn flour, then you can brush the residue from the surface of the shoe with a suede brush.

Removing ink stains from suede
Try to tackle the stain as soon as possible, as the longer it’s left for the harder it will be to remove. Dab the area with a dry, undyed cloth, then use the suede cleaning steps outlined earlier to clean the trainer.

The best suede trainers are clean suede trainers
