For the most part, you can clean nubuck the same way you would suede. For both materials, the Suede Cleaning Kit is an excellent choice. Its gentle brush and eraser work well on both suede and nubuck, removing dirt without damaging delicate surfaces.

To dry suede, use a microfiber towel to dab and twist the suede for a few minutes, soaking up as much dampness as possible. The suede will begin to evenly dry and the nap of the suede will begin to lift. At this point, use your Suede Handle Brush to work the nap of the suede back-and-forth to restore its buttery nap.

The drying process is a time consuming step, but very necessary. If you leave the shoes to air dry and skip this step, the nap of the suede will mat down and it will be extremely difficult to bring back.

To clean mesh sneakers or running shoes like Flyknit, Hoka, Salomon, or On, start by brushing off any loose dirt or debris with a hogs hair Delicates Cleaning Brush. Apply a small amount of our Ready-to-Use Foam Cleaner to the brush, and gently scrub in the direction of the knit pattern. Avoid harsh scrubbing to avoid damaging the delicate material. Use a microfiber towel to remove any remaining foam solution, and let the shoes air dry.

Our Ready-to-Use Foam Cleaner is pre-mixed, so no extra water is required. Simply apply the foam directly onto a brush, gently scrub your shoes, and wipe clean with a microfiber towel. This product works well on most materials, including leather, suede, canvas, mesh, and cotton.

Our Ready-to-Use Foam Cleaner is perfect for cleaning canvas shoes, like Vans, Converse, Superga, or Chuck Taylors. First, remove any loose dirt or dust from the surface by brushing them with a dry brush. Apply a small amount of Ready-to-Use Foam Cleaner to the same brush and gently scrub the canvas in circular motions. It’s important to scrub the entire surface area to avoid creating any isolated water stains. Use a microfiber towel to dab and twist the canvas to soak up as much liquid as possible and to help lift any remaining stain. Let the shoes air dry completely. 

The longer you go without cleaning your sneakers, the harder it is to get the dirt out. You can help keep canvas shoes clean by tending to stains as soon as possible, before they are allowed to set. For tougher stains like grass or wine stains, we recommend using the Deep Cleaning Solution.
