To remove dirt, use a textile brush. This is easily done under lukewarm water and with the help of our mild 'Easy Care' cleaning and care foam. Clean the entire surface with water to prevent the formation of marks.

After cleaning your leather shoes, 'Trend-Care' now also helps you as a comprehensively applicable care product thanks to its gentle active ingredients, which is also suitable for all stretch, high-tech as well as synthetic materials, also in combination with leather.
It preserves the elasticity typical of the material and protects your shoe from hardening and material breakage.

Allow the wet-cleaned shoe to dry relaxed at room temperature - the use of a wooden shoe tree is of course also recommended for material-mix shoes - and then apply the spray.
 Allow to soak in briefly and you're done.

The icing on the cake is again impregnation, which cares for and protects the quality of the shoes. In this case, we also recommend 'Power Protector'.

Care of wool slippers

• Wool has self-cleaning and breathable properties. It is therefore not necessary to wash the slippers in the washing machine. Regularly airing them out in the fresh air for a night is sufficient.
• Stains can be removed with a damp cloth, if necessary with a little wool detergent. Only use detergents suitable for wool and no chemical agents.
• Briefly pat out the slippers regularly.
• A hoover is an excellent way to remove dust, crumbs and hair from the slippers.
• Wool felt may show a little pilling. This says nothing about the quality of the wool. Unwanted pilling can be carefully removed with a good pilling tool.
