How to clean nubuck properly

Cleaning the toughest stains

If none of the above methods of cleaning nubuck helped, you can resort to more drastic measures. You can sand the nubuck surface using a grindstone or sandpaper. Since this type of leather is produced by finely abrading cattle hides, nubuck is able to withstand abrasion to remove dirt.

The most stubborn stains should be rubbed vigorously with fine sandpaper or a grindstone until they are completely gone. If it is necessary to clean a specific stain, rub only it, avoiding treatment of the entire surface.

Before you start removing stains with a grindstone, it is important to make sure it is clean. Otherwise, instead of cleansing, the dirt from the stone will rub into the fibers of the skin.

If most of the nubuck surface is stained, it is necessary to completely sand the product. To do this, the surface is treated with sandpaper or a grindstone until it is cleaned. Thereafter, using a nubuck brush, remove visible traces of sanding, gently smoothing the pile. After this procedure, the product looks like new.

Sometimes after polishing nubuck, fine dust is formed on its surface from the villi of the skin and particles of dirt. To clean the product, it is enough to sweep away the dust and wipe it with a napkin.

How to clean?

When purchasing shoes from any natural material, you should immediately buy special care products and tools that you need to use from the first day of wearing. Also, suede and velor cleaners work well for nubuck.

To get started, you need a variety of brushes. They can be soft or hard, rubber or metal. As a rule, at specialized shoe sales points you can find a brush for each type of material, which allows you to easily clean your favorite boots, boots and shoes at home on your own. Depending on the availability of cleaning surfaces, brushes are divided into several types:

• with one cleaning surface;
• having an additional layer, which is a soft sponge;
• combining rubber bristles with a metal and sponge layer to remove dirt in hard-to-reach places.

Thus, there are both inexpensive simple brushes, and double or triple universal brushes, which are more expensive, but are more functional.

Therefore, when choosing this tool, it is important to rely on your own wishes and preferences:

• comfortable position in the hand;
• the size;
• the ability to fit in a purse or pocket, etc.

Alternatively, you can purchase a rubber "eraser" that cleans the material from small and slightly stubborn stains without damaging the quality of the material. Sometimes unscrupulous sellers may advise you to buy a regular stationery eraser. In no case should this be done - it greatly spoils the nubuck.

The second thing nubuck boots need is impregnation

It is important to apply it to the shoes immediately before putting on for the first time. It is necessary to apply impregnation three times, carefully treating the entire surface

After each application, it is important to wait until the product is completely dry and only then repeat the procedure. Such processing will protect the shoes from leaks and the negative effects of moisture on the material.

In the future, you can spray the water-repellent impregnation on the boots once every two weeks, then they will fully receive protection from the formation of stains and stubborn dirt.

The third item on the list of essential care products is shoe paint. Thanks to her, you can extend the life of shoes and regularly return them to their original beauty.Using paint is simple: you must first clean the shoes of external contamination, dry thoroughly, and then apply a coloring agent. But you should not get carried away with painting shoes. It is needed only if frayed areas appear, the material has become dull, the color is uneven.

It is also important to know that natural nubuck has a rough surface with fine fibers. Therefore, paints are suitable for caring for him only in the form of an aerosol, and not colored creams or emulsions, as for smooth skin.

And finally, the fourth thing you need to care for is a special shampoo. It is useful for general shoe cleaning. Industrial shampoo is quite aggressive, therefore, shoes are cleaned with it 1-2 times a year after the end of the wearing season and strictly according to the instructions attached to it.

Differences from suede

Nubuck and suede have a similar appearance, so it is easy to confuse them. But they still have differences: quality, price, properties, service life. Here are the main features by which you can find out what kind of shoes are in front of you:

1. External differences. Both materials are velvety and soft to the touch. However, the nubuck pile is shorter than that of suede. The latter type of skin is fuzzy on both sides, and the first type is only on one.
2. The raw materials for their production are also different. Suede is made mainly from the skin of small ruminants: sheep and goats. The starting material for nubuck is the skins of large domestic and wild animals: oxen, yaks, elks, deer and others.
3. Method of dressing. Suede is made in the process of tanning with fats and formaldehydes, and for nubuck leather is treated with salts, chrome, and then sanded with fine abrasives (sand, skins, etc.).
4. In terms of physical properties, it turns out to be thicker, tougher, resistant to abrasion, compared to suede.

6. Suede is not so strong, dense, it can be washed occasionally.

How to recover

Over time, faded spots appear on the products, scuffs at the folds and contact of one shoe with another. Therefore, owners should know not only how to clean nubuck shoes, but also how to restore the presentable appearance of products.
