To start cleaning suede sneakers or suede dress shoes, start by using the suede cleaner bar. This cleaner bar will remove dirt from the shoe by acting like an eraser.

Rub the suede bar on areas where soil and dirt can be seen. There may be some flaky residue left from the suede bar on the shoe – this is typical.

Take the brush and brush off the shoes to revive the suede nap.
