A liquid agent that removes traces of various reagents.
Means for rescue from the most deep and noticeable pollution.
The specialized soap is intended for gentle cleaning of surfaces.
Cloth napkins (required both for applying fat, botaline and cream, and for cleaning and polishing).
A pair of strong nitrile gloves.
A set of brushes – hard for cleaning the top, soft for polishing. Appdtkalo for cream and fat, if a cloth napkin is not convenient. Small for rent.

Remember that not all such compositions are equally good. Therefore, it is worth conducting testing on the least noticeable areas. White sneakers made of genuine leather are cared for according to the same principles.

Always use a stiff bristle brush to clean greasy shoes. It can be horse hair or its analogues. You can only clean dry shoes, otherwise you will carry dirt on the surface. Also remember that it is important to clean the welt no less than the top. Small special brushes resembling toothbrushes are used for it. The material is the same as the main one. Why not take a toothbrush with which you brush your teeth? It is rarely durable enough.

Important: If you care for suede shoes, keep in mind that you cannot wet them or treat them with a damp cloth to remove dirt. You will also need a special brush and flannel cloth. The same requirements apply when caring for nubuck shoes. Also, nubuck shoes cannot be dried on the battery. Overdrying negatively affects the condition of the material. When caring for patent shoes, drying is possible only with spacers. Otherwise, the skin may be deformed.

If you have problems with the material, you need to perform a restoration, then the specialists of the Timotheus workshop will easily handle the restoration. Your shoes will be serviced at the highest level – like in a five-star hotel and a Michelin restaurant. Waiting for you!
