The Importance of Suede Water Repellent Spray

Suede undeniably looks so fantastic when it comes to a fashion lifestyle. And gentlemen with nice suede shoes always look attractive. But the problem most gentlemen (even everyone) have with suede, especially in rainy season or places, is to keep them in their best look. To keep our shoes look good, we need to treat them with better care; especially the suede one. Why is it important to look after? it is because suede is made from the inner side of an animal hides which tends to be softer and more supple; it is simply can be called that suede is made by using the leather upside down from its general use. So to lengthen this sensitive leather durability there should be at least a maintenance to protect it.  We can say that suede and water are not really good friends. It's not that water can damage suede leather shoes in a blink, but since suede is not a hydrophobic leather ( or known as a non water resistant), it won't be good enough to have suede shoes step on wet places often. It is because when it gets soaked, and then once it's dry, it will leave some stains, watermarks, as well as become stiff and shrinking. In addition, suede itself is really hard to clean when it gets stained from dust and oil.  Moreover, If you don't treat them very well in advance, you will run the risk of ruining them, because the napped surface of suede can be mixed or wetted by liquid easily (or known as hydrophilic) and will attract moisture into the leather. Once it's get wetted and moist, the leather will lose its best condition and will easily damage. For the same reason, if it's soaked by a lot of water any dyes or pigments that have been applied to the suede are likely to fade or run. Given that, it will be a lot nicer to have something to keep our suede in a best condition.  If we tend to step with our suede shoes on rainy places often, the very basic treatment, if you don't want to spend too much money on shoe laundry, we can have is a suede water repellent spray. Water repellent can protect suede leather from water penetration and moisture the leather. Given that, it is a very basic thing that we can apply to protect its texture and shape as well as water-stop serum will easily do us help in preventing our shoes from getting ugly.  To use the water repellent, It's a very simple step in using this product. We just need to spray it on the suede shoes thoroughly in about a 15-20 cm distance. The process will cause the shoes wet, but it is the important process that do not wipe it rather wait till it is absorbed for about eight hours, or for its best result, spray it over night before using the shoes. If you have the napping leather type like suede, nubuck and velour, you need to use suede sponge to restore "hair" to normal position once it's dry. Hopefully you find it useful :)Cheers,#askjali
