Cleaning Suede Shoes- How to clean your shoes 

Appreciate you and your feedback! I def made the same mistake a few years back!!! 😭 do you think the video was a bit too fast? I just didn’t want it to be slow and boring but now I wonder if it was too fast 🤔 always open to constructive criticism 🙏

​@@HJartistryit would help if you insert pics with label of the products you use. Also, the start of the vid is too abrupt. Better show the shoe first, the issue to be addressed and then start the actual cleaning

@@ChumbynKnopa appreciate that! I’ll take that advice and apply it in the next video! Thank you!!!

Sure here is the reasoning…sorry in advance for the book 😆: While suede shoes may seem fine after getting wet occasionally, there are long-term negatives associated with frequent exposure to moisture: 1. **Texture Change:** Repeated exposure to water can cause the nap of suede to become matted or flattened, altering the texture and appearance of the material over time. 2. **Staining:** Suede is highly absorbent, and water can leave behind stains or water marks on the surface of the shoes. These stains can be difficult to remove and may become more pronounced with repeated exposure to moisture. 3. **Color Fading:** Prolonged exposure to water can cause the dye in suede shoes to fade or bleed, resulting in a loss of color vibrancy and uneven fading over time. 4. **Weakness and Damage:** Suede fibers can weaken when exposed to water, leading to structural damage, stretching, or deterioration of the material. This can affect the overall integrity and longevity of the shoes. 5. **Odor and Mold:** Moisture trapped inside suede shoes can create a favorable environment for the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria, leading to unpleasant odors and potential health risks. While occasional exposure to water may not immediately ruin suede shoes, it's best to avoid getting them wet whenever possible and take precautions to protect them from moisture. Using waterproofing sprays, avoiding wearing suede shoes in rainy or wet conditions, and promptly drying them if they do get wet can help minimize the long-term negative effects on suede footwear. Hopefully that helps! Best of luck in the future with cleaning your suede shoes. Let me know if you have any other questions/comments! Always appreciate your honest feedback 🙏

@@HJartistry Ahh ok nice! That all makes sense. Yeah in my case it helped get rid of extreme dirt, but not something I should repeatedly do
