What's the Best Way to Clean D.A.T.E. Sneakers?

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process on standard leather:

• Remove laces and was separately, they can be machine washed. 
• Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt or your hands
• For stubborn stains mix lemon juice with water and a drop of almond oil
• Wipe with a slightly damp cloth
• Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat
• Apply leather conditioner once dry (if you didn't add almond oil)
• Finish with protective spray

For suede leather finishes:

• Don't immerse the suede in water, a light damp cloth is sufficient

• Don't apply leather conditioner to suede leather as it will make it go matt. Always use a protector spray with a water repellent feature.

Special Care Instructions:
• Never use harsh brushes on glitter sections
• Avoid direct water contact with glitter areas
• Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth for regular cleaning
• For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with gentle dabbing motions
• Allow glitter sections to dry naturally
• Never rub aggressively as this may dislodge glitter particles

If your trainers get very wet, allow them to dry naturally, do not put near a source of heat.
