Suede shoes before and after cleaning

Suede Shoe Cleaning and Care

Designed specifically for suede and nubuck, our dry-method process avoids hardening, discoloration and shrinking:

  1. Intake inspection: we confirm the material (genuine suede or synthetic nubuck), how dark the color is, the stain type (salt, mud, oil, mildew) and the condition of the sole and stitching, and record any special damage and confirm it with you.
  2. Removing and protecting parts: laces and removable insoles are taken out, and metal ornaments are wrapped in cloth so they aren't scratched during brushing.
  3. Dry dusting: a specialist suede brush and a soft brush, used against the nap, remove surface dust and grit while keeping the suede texture.
  4. Spot pre-treatment: salt or mud stains get a dry or low-temperature damp pre-treatment first; oil or heavy stains may get professional solvent cleaning as needed (only after a safety test).
  5. Deep cleaning: dry cleaning with a suede-specific cleaner or powder, or very careful damp hand wiping with controlled moisture, avoiding over-wetting that makes the nap clump or discolor.
  6. Color touch-up (on request): small faded areas or light marks can be touched up, after confirming the color difference and cost with you first. Large-area recoloring is quoted separately.
  7. Reshaping and drying: slow drying with natural ventilation or a low-temperature drying cabinet, with shoe trees to keep the shape, avoiding direct sun or high-heat machine drying.
  8. Nap brushing and protection: once dry, a suede brush restores the direction and feel of the nap. Finally, a suede-specific waterproof and stain-resistant spray (optional) forms a protective layer.
  9. Deodorizing and antibacterial treatment: deep deodorizing and antibacterial treatment inside the shoes when needed (no water washing).
  10. Final check and handover: laces arranged and insoles refitted, with care advice; before-and-after photos can be included if you want them.

Notes (Important)

  • Suede and water don't mix: washing with a lot of water makes the nap clump, stiffen or change color, so we clean mainly by dry or low-moisture methods.
  • Oil is hard to remove: results on oily stains (cooking oil, motor oil) are limited and may need professional color touch-up or repair.
  • Colorfastness risk: where light and dark areas meet or the dye is uneven, touch-up may show color differences. We test the color first and confirm with you.
  • Mildew: mildew spots must be disinfected and removed before drying, and severe mildew may not be fully reversible.
  • Special ornaments: rhinestones, sequins and other fragile ornaments need extra protection or removal, so please tell us in advance.
  • Damage that can't be reversed: cracks, severe wear or structural damage need a cobbler; cleaning can only improve the appearance.

Read Before Ordering: Care Notes & TermsTap to expand

Thank you for trusting us. To make sure your clothes and valuables get proper care and to protect both sides, please read the following notes carefully before sending items for cleaning:

1. Please check before sending items (basis of our disclaimer)

Empty all pockets:Please check pockets carefully before handing over items. We are not responsible for storing or compensating for cash, IDs, jewelry, earphones, receipts or other valuables left behind. If we find anything, we will keep it safe and return it, but please check to avoid unnecessary disputes.

Tell us about existing flaws:If a garment already has tears, loose seams, dye stains, fading, loose buttons, heavy yellowing or moth holes, please tell the counter staff when you drop it off, or let us know on LINE.

Valuable or high-end items (e.g. Chanel/Hermès bags, high-end leather, tailored suits): we recommend our premium care service (Luxury Item Care). Please check the item's current condition together with our staff in store or discuss it online (e.g. leather wear, oxidized hardware), and have it noted on the cleaning ticket.

2. Cleaning and stain removal results (reasonable expectations)

About difficult stains:For sweat, blood, ink, juice, paint, old yellow stains or mildew, we do our best with professional enzymes and stain removers on the affected area. If a stain is very old, or the fibers have already deteriorated or taken on the color, we cannot promise it will come out completely.

Special materials:

  • Unstable or non-colorfast dyes: if a garment's dye is not colorfast, it may fade slightly after cleaning.
  • Coatings / PU faux leather / waterproof seam tape: these materials have a limited lifespan (usually 2–3 years) and may peel or lose seam tape during cleaning due to hydrolysis and aging. If peeling has already started, it will usually get worse after cleaning, so please keep this in mind.

3. Storage of uncollected items

Collect on time:When your items are ready, we will send you a text message. Please collect them with your claim ticket within 30 days of the notice, or contact us to arrange delivery.

Late storage fee:From day 31, a storage fee of NT$10–20 per item per day applies to uncollected items (up to 3 months).

Abandonment of ownership:Items not collected more than 6 months after the notice date are considered abandoned by the customer. We may recycle, donate or otherwise dispose of them to free up storage space, and the customer may not object or claim compensation.

4. Checking items at pickup and handling disputes

Check on the spot:When collecting, please check on the spot that the number of items and accessories (e.g. belts, fur collars, liners) are complete, and check the cleaning quality.

Re-cleaning window:If you find an item not fully clean or poorly pressed, bring it back to the shop with your receipt within 3 days of pickup (with our laundry tag still attached and unworn), and we will redo it free of charge.

5. Compensation for loss or damage

We carry liability insurance. If a garment is seriously damaged, deformed or lost due to improper cleaning on our part, compensation follows the Ministry of Economic Affairs' "Mandatory and Prohibited Provisions for Standard Laundry Service Contracts":

  • Regular garments: compensation is a multiple of the item's cleaning price (usually capped at 5 to 20 times, depending on depreciation).
  • Valuable items without a declared value: if the value was not declared in advance and the item did not go through our premium care process, total compensation is capped (e.g. no more than NT$5,000–10,000).

Notes on Special Services

1. Down comforters / large bedding
Please check the bedding's care label when you buy it. Some natural silk and pure wool comforters are dry clean only or must not be washed. We never vacuum-compress animal fibers, to avoid physical damage to fibers and feather quills (down itself can be compressed).

2. Pet items
For hygiene, please remove loose hair and waste from pet clothing and beds before sending them in. We wash pet items separately using pet-specific disinfectant and dedicated machines, so you can send them with peace of mind.
