We’re very keen to ensure your brand new Wild Rhino shoes continue to look and feel great so here are a few tips on shoe care.
Prevention is better than cure so it’s important you clean, protect and revive your new shoes to keep them in top condition.
Cleaning your shoes
It’s no surprise to learn that daily dust and grime builds up over time so cleaning them is a must to enable you to enjoy your shoes when you wear them.
A dry foam formula or simple gel cleaner will lift out general stains on suedes, leathers, nubucks and fabrics – you’ll find these at most department stores or shoe repair shops.
We recommend using a quality cream to nourish, clean and condition your leather shoes. For more stubborn stains, you should use a traditional cleaning block.
For canvas, denim or fabric shoes we recommend you delicately spot wash your shoes with tepid water and a toothbrush.
For PU uppers, try a good old–fashioned wipe and clean with a slightly damp cloth. This should do the job and after washing let them dry naturally.
For a stained material, we highly recommend you use a simple satin stain remover which you should also be able to find easily in department or shoes repair stores.
We also recommend that if you are using a brush to help clean your shoes, a natural fibre brush will work best for leathers and a soft metal brush or brush with rubber bristles will work better for suedes and nubuck materials.
Don’t forget to pay attention to the insides of your shoes. We recommend you replace the insoles if they lose their freshness with either a foam or leather one. You can also use an odour killer to keep them smelling fresh.
And of course, with whatever product you choose to use to clean your shoes with, please don’t forget to read the instructions carefully.
