To clean suede and mesh trainers, start by removing excess dirt with a soft brush, taking care not to damage the material. For the suede parts, use a specific suede cleaner, applying a small amount on a soft cloth and gently rubbing it onto the suede in a circular motion. For the mesh areas, mix a mild detergent with warm water, dip a soft brush into the solution, and scrub gently. Finally, air dry your trainers away from direct heat and sunlight to prevent damage.
