1. Read the shoe's material label. Prepare a suede/nubuck brush and a soft dry cloth.
2. Let mud dry before removing loose particles. Do not vigorously rub wet stains into the nap.
3. Brush lightly in the natural direction of the suede fibers, avoiding harsh back-and-forth scraping.
4. For scuffs, patch-test a suede eraser or maker-recommended cleaner on a hidden spot. Stop if the color changes.
5. Remove cleaner residue as the product directs and air-dry in a ventilated shaded place; avoid radiators and hair dryers.
6. Once dry, consider a suede-compatible protector. Patch-test and apply in good ventilation following the label, then let dry.
