Nubuck Cleaner and Protection Guide

Nubuck is leather refined for softness — and that makes it just as sensitive.

Jason Markk Nubuck Cleaner gently removes stains while preserving texture, color, and feel.

Why Nubuck Needs Special Care

Nubuck has a fine, velvety grain that attracts dust and oils. Regular cleaning keeps the surface smooth and prevents dark patches.

How to Clean Nubuck

  1. Start dry — brush gently to remove loose debris.

  2. Apply a small amount of Nubuck Cleaner to a damp brush.

  3. Work in light circular motions, then blot with a towel.

  4. Air-dry away from heat.

  5. Finish with a clean brush to restore nap.
