Useful little kit for cleaning suede and then sanding down the long threads.
I tend to keep my shoes for a long time. I had a pair of Earth Spirit suede flip flops that I have worn around the house and outside on the property for at least seven years. I have no idea where I originally got them from, but they are one of the most comfortable pair of shoes that I own. I have never cleaned them because I was scared I would ruin them.I got this block and cleaning brush. I was hoping and praying it would not mess up my comfy shoes. But I had to be okay if it went sideways (the shoes have lived a long and fulfilling life). I did a test patch. I used it on the top of just one shoe so I could compare the difference. It did work. It cleaned the shoe.I did not apply a lot of pressure, I did not need to. I rubbed back and forth with the same motion as I use a tooth brush. That seemed to work better. Then I brushed and I could see the difference.I was not expecting much because these shoes had not been cleaned in years (ever). But I was impressed. The shoe looked noticeably better. I recommend it.
This suede cleaning kit worked great on my light pink, suede sneakers. I was very nervous about making my shoes look worse, and I was so relieved at how well these 2 Angelus tools — an eraser type thing and a stiff nylon brush — worked!!!Definitely works better if you get to the scuffs/stains sooner than later, but some of the scuffs were a couple weeks old and still lifted well.Tips & Tricks:Use LIGHT PRESSURE ONLY, many quick strokes do the trick. DO NOT rub too hard with either the eraser or the brush; you don’t want to tear up the suede. Go back and forth with the eraser and the brush, initially. Then, switch to using the brush only in one direction at the end, to reset the nap of the suede.Many light pressure quick strokes, patience, and alternating the eraser and the brush gave me the results you see in my photos.
Worked pretty good! Gave my birks a little more life 😂
Great product! I went to a concert and got beer spilled all over my suede cowboy boots. I was terrified that they were ruined forever. I ordered this because it was cheap and thought, “even if it doesn’t work, it wasn’t expensive and it can’t make it worse.” But to my surprise this worked WONDERS. They obviously don’t look brand new but it got all of the water spots off with minimal effort. If you need to clean suede, buy this!!!
