Now, let's start cleaning.
First, thoroughly stretch the toe area with Deodrant Shoe Keeper.
The smooth leather used on the toe area is prone to creases and dust accumulation, so it is important to stretch it thoroughly at this point.
Then, use a Cleaning Blush to remove dust from the entire sneaker, including the toes.
Move the brush in different directions to remove all dust.
After brushing off the dust from the surface, we then use a Utility Eraser to remove any dirt or black marks that have stuck to the nubuck parts.
It's easy to use, just gently rub the dirty area in a circular motion.
The key is to be gentle; rubbing the eraser too hard can result in bald spots on the brushed material.
There is a reason why we do the cleaning in stages like this.
This is because brushed materials have the property that if dirt is not removed from the surface and the material is exposed to moisture, the dirt becomes very difficult to remove.
Therefore, you want to remove any dirt that can be removed at this stage.
Once you have completed this thorough warm-up, you can finally move on to using the Foam Cleaner.
When cleaning brushed materials, even a small mistake can lead to big regrets!!!
There are two points to prevent this from happening!
First, don't apply the cleaner directly to the napped material.
Second, wet the whole area evenly.
Those are the two.
The first point is not to apply the cleaner directly to the brushed material, as if you do, the pigment will be concentrated in that area and a stain known as a ring stain will form.
The second point is to wet the entire surface evenly. If only one part is moist, it will cause uneven coloring when it dries. This is especially true for light-colored sneakers like the ones we are using now.
When cleaning brushed materials, keep the above two points in mind.
Once you have finished cleaning, wipe off the cleaner that has soaked into the brushed material with a towel and the cleaning of the upper part is complete.
To finish, I cleaned the tongue part with a cleaner.
No! Not yet. There is some liquid staining on the tongue.
For this type of stain, Stain Remover is the only option.
Press the core of the remover against the dirty area to allow the remover's contents to penetrate thoroughly.
Then wipe it off thoroughly with a towel, and voila! It's completely removed.
The delicate light ink color has been revived, making this a shoe worthy of representing Japan.
Add the Dryers, which comes as a bonus with Premium Sneaker Cleaning, and then apply a layer of 420ml of Waterproof Spray.
The item will be returned to the customer in a Shoes Bag 2.0 containing activated charcoal.
Thank you so much for entrusting such a valuable pair of sneakers to us.
