Tips for Take care your CHIE MIHARA SHOES
How should I clean my shoes?
As we only use high quality leathers, with a natural treatment and little coverage of pigments, cleaning is limited. Never wash the skin, if you wet or wash the whole shoe with soap, the skin hardens and the shoe gets deformed and becomes useless.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR CLEANING:
A) Cleaning leather suede:
If shoes are wet, let them dry thoroughly. Clean using a special brush for suede or a toothbrush then use a waterproof spray for suede. It should be sprayed periodically, that does not mean that it no longer absorbs water but resists more.
B) Cleaning plain leather:
Use a clean and soft, slightly damp cloth. Clean softly all over the shoe without 'scrubbing'. I recommend applying periodically a leather nourishing cream.
C) Cleaning light colours:
The procedure is the same as above.
D) Cleaning oil stains, liquids:
It’s very difficult to take these off. When stained with liquids, wipe off as quickly as possible. That’s why the use of waterproof spray and nourishing cream is so important, it will seal pores and protect from accidents.
E) Cleaning of patent leather:
Just a damp cloth. No cream is necessary.
