Suede & nubuck

Many people are convinced that suede and also nubuck is a type of leather that is difficult to maintain. But what people often don't realise is that if you use the right products, you can keep suede and nubuck for a long time. Did you know, for example, that you can wash suede and nubuck? Yes, you can. By washing your suede and nubuck shoes with Saphir Médaille d'Or Omninettoyant and then spraying them with a spray with natural oils such as Saphir Médaille d'Or Natural Protector Spray, your shoes will remain in top condition. Do you wear a lot of suede and nubuck shoes? Both types of leather have almost the same treatment method. So you only have to buy most products once.

Suede is one of the more stain-sensitive leathers if you don't care for it properly. It is, therefore, very important to properly care for and protect suede. Then we have a spray from Saphir Médaille d'Or that can offer a helping hand, the Natural Protector Spray. It will make the suede radiate warmth again! In addition, it will make the suede very water-repellent. The spray protects and cares for the leather and applies a small hydrophobic layer, as it were, so that drops roll right off.

Nubuck is comparable to suede in terms of softness, but it is made from the outside instead of the inside of the skin. The slightly saded material creates a velvety appearance that is soft to the touch. As goes for suede, it is important to properly protect nubuck. Moisture and dirt easily absorb into nubuck and can be hard to get out. Always spray your nubuck shoes, bag or jacket well to prevent this from happening so that you can keep it nice and fresh! The products and order of use is the same as for suede. Nubuck is only slightly more sensitive to scratches. Therefore, use a crepe brush made with rubber instead of a steel or brass brush to prevent scratches.
