Clean Up depending on the type of leather :
1. Nubuck Leather/ Suede :
Τα δέρματα Nubuck και Καστόρια (Suede) προτείνεται να καθαρίζονται με ειδική μαλακή βούρτσα. Ειδικότερα, σε λεκέδες και στίγματα, είναι προτιμότερο να εφαρμόζεται η ειδική γόμα καθαρισμού, για την απαλοιφή των λεκέδων. Αν τα σανδάλια μας βραχούν, τα αφήνουμε να στεγνώσουν πάντοτε μακριά από εστίες θερμότητας σε φυσική θερμοκρασία. Για να έχουμε άριστο αποτέλεσμα καλό θα ήταν να χρησιμοποιούμε καλαπόδια ξύλινα και να αποφεύγονται τα συνθετικά γιατί δεν έχουν την ιδιότητα να τραβάνε την υγρασία.
One more way to clean your sandals is the usage of the product Talk in spots of water for example. You should apply a good amount of the product around the dirt and let it dry. The product will absorb the humidity and as a result, the amount of stain will be reduced.
2. Full Grain and Waxed Leather:
On this type of leather, the solution that we recommend is the usage of a slightly wet paper (not wet) for the stain that has been caused. The leather needs to be shined in order to be protected from water and dust. A product based on wax or seal fat, is usually suitable not only to create a waterproof layer in your leather pair, but also protect its color.
