How to clean Christian Louboutin suede shoes without damaging them


When we own suede Christian Louboutin Pumps they often end up as our favorite items of foot-wear. This is because they will have comfortably moulded themselves to the shape of our feet. They can also be quite expensive to purchase. Therefore they are worth looking after, both because of the comfort that they provide and because of the money that they cost to buy. But when you come to clean Christian Louboutin Bye Bye Suede/Leather Platform Thick Heel Pumps, care will need to be taken so that you don't accidentally damage them.

Begin by removing their laces, if your Christian Louboutin Pumps have any. This will allow you to clean properly around the area where they fasten and are pulled tight as you do them up. Then, crumple up some newspaper and stuff them down into the shoe, right down to the toe area and up to the ankle area. This will help them to stay in shape as you work on them.

For general cleaning, that is to remove dirt, mud and dust, use a suede cleaning brush. Brush in the same direction as the fibers, or if you dont know which way they go then simply brush in one direction. Don't be rough with them unless you really have a stubborn patch.

If you do find a very stubborn area, that perhaps has an unknown stain, you can work the brush in a scrubbing motion, brushing in both directions until the mark has gone.

If you have caked on clods of mud then gently lift the corners of the clods with a butter knife to loosen them, while being careful not to scratch the surface of the suede with the knife.

Water marks may disappear if you make your Christian Louboutin Pumps damp all over the outside with warm water. To do this use a soft nail brush and get a thin layer of water over the suede, without drenching the Christian Louboutin Pumps. Then, with your nail brush, scrub over the stained area, particularly around the edges of the stain until the marks fade into the rest of the shoe.

Leave your crumpled newspaper in them as they dry overnight to help them to retain their shape. If you have a shoe tree then this will do the trick too. Try not to put them directly under a heat source as drying out too quickly could leave them feeling a little tough to the touch.

To keep your Christian Louboutin Pumps in good condition once cleaned store them away from bright sunlight, which can make their color fade. Also keep them away from sitting for long periods in a damp room. They are best kept in a well ventilated area that isnt prone to damp as otherwise they may develop mold spores on their surface.

If you only wear Christian Louboutin 'Bianca 140' platform soft grey suede pumps  occasionally then you can keep them wrapped lightly in tissue paper, in their original box so that they will be fresh and ready to wear when you want them.
