How to clean suede products?
Suede products are best cleaned with a dry microfiber cloth. The thing to be careful about is not to expose it to harsh chemicals, but suede is a natural material, chemicals damage suede just as they damage our skin.
Is suede waterproof?
Suede is a material with a rough outer surface because it is obtained from the lower layers of the leather. Therefore, it is water permeable. But we are not saying there is no solution. You can obtain suede protection sprays to make suede products waterproof.
How to protect suede bags?
If you bought a suede bag, the most important thing is not to expose it to rain. Depending on the type of suede, it may leave stains or spoil the appearance of the surface. With the help of suede brushes, you can support the bag from the inside and brush it with oval movements. In this way, you will get rid of dirt and stains on the surface.
Which season to wear suede and when to avoid it?
Suede products can be worn in all seasons, although they are not practical on extremely hot summer days. Apart from that, it is a favorite of the winter season.
The most important thing to pay attention to when using suede products is to avoid contact with water for a long time in rainy and snowy weather. Especially rainwater can leave permanent marks on your leather and suede products due to its high acid content.
Apart from that, we think cool but sunny spring days are the best weather for suede. 😊
