🟫 How to Clean Nubuck or Suede Timberlands

1. Brush Off Dirt

  • Use a suede brush to remove surface dust
  • Always brush in one direction to avoid damaging the nap

2. Remove Scuffs

  • Use a suede eraser or a clean rubber eraser on marks
  • Gently rub and re-brush the area to restore texture

3. Spot Clean Stains

  • Mix warm water + a few drops of mild soap
  • Lightly dab the stain with a damp sponge or cloth
  • Avoid soaking the boot—use minimal moisture

💡 For oil stains, sprinkle baking soda, let sit overnight, and brush off

4. Dry Properly

  • Stuff with paper towels to maintain shape
  • Let air dry away from direct heat or sunlight

🟤 How to Clean Leather Timberlands

1. Wipe Down the Boots

  • Use a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime
  • Add a drop of mild soap if needed

2. Use Leather Cleaner (Optional)

  • Apply a small amount with a cloth
  • Wipe in circular motions
  • Buff with a dry cloth

3. Dry and Condition

  • Let them air dry
  • Apply leather conditioner to keep them soft and prevent cracking

👃 How to Remove Odours

  • Sprinkle baking soda inside the boots and leave overnight
  • Shake out the powder the next day
  • Optional: Use a shoe deodorizer spray or dryer sheets

☔ Protect After Cleaning

Once clean and dry, spray your Timberlands with a water and stain repellent, especially if they’re nubuck or suede.
