Suede Soot Remover 5.3 (Soot 5.3) Instruction

Instruction

Step 1: Decontamination
Product: Suede Soot Remover 5.3 (Soot 5.3)

1. Vacuuming and dry brushing (90% of the work):

Do not use any liquid at first.
Vacuum with a soft bristle nozzle, holding the vacuum one millimeter from the surface (without crushing the soot) to remove loose particles.
Next, use a dry soot sponge (latex) by dabbing, or a brass/rubber suede brush very gently to eject the remaining carbon from the fibers.

2. Applying the foam (Only for the remaining soot shadow):

Pump the foam onto a soft nylon brush.
Brush the entire item (for example, the whole shoe or the entire bag panel) from one seam to the other.
Wipe immediately with a clean white towel by transfer (blotting) to absorb the suspended soot.
If you only clean a localized stain, the water will create a permanent ring on the suede.

3. Drying and straightening the hair:

Allow the suede to air dry completely (approximately 12 to 24 hours).
The suede will initially appear flat and stiff.
Once completely dry, rub vigorously but gently with a clean suede brush to straighten the fibers and restore its original soft appearance.

Continue with this 5-step holistic system:

Step 2: Stabilization

Product: Suede Rinse 3.0 (Rinse 3.0)

1. Purpose:

To neutralize cleaner residues from step 1 and block dyestuffs.

2. Immediate Application:

While the fiber is still slightly damp from step 1, spray

3. Leave on for 2 to 3 minutes:

The acidity will tighten the fibers and neutralize the ash's alkalinity.

4. Drying and Transfer:

Gently rub with a clean folded cotton towel to remove any remaining alkaline salts.

5. Technical Pause:

Allow the suede to dry in a ventilated room until it is slightly cool to the touch (15-20% residual moisture) before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3: Deodorization

Product: Suede Smoke Deodorizer 3.7 (Smoke 3.7)

1. Purpose:

Eliminate smoke odors from the upper layers and relax the fiber.

2. Spray Application:

Apply Smoke 3.7 evenly.

The slight increase in pH (from 3.0 to 3.7) gently reopens the suede's pores.

3. Massage:

Work the product in by massaging the surface with a clean brush or microfiber cloth.

4. Reaction Time:
Let the product stand for 5 minutes to destroy surface odor molecules.

Step 4: Hydrating

Product: Suede Hydrator 3.3 (Hydrator 3.3)

1. Purpose:

To open the suede's internal channels and eliminate ingrained odors.

2. Controlled Saturation:
Generously spray Hydrator 3.3.
The pH drops to 3.3 to maximize surface tension.

3. Wrapping (Optional for extreme cases):
For very stubborn odors, cover the area with plastic wrap for 12 to 24 hours.

4. Check:
The suede must be evenly softened and moist, ready to receive the fatliquor.

Step 5: Fatliquoring

Product: Suede Fatliquor 5.0+ (Fatliquor 5.0+)

1. Purpose:

To replace the diminishing natural fats and oils in suede.

2. Wet application:
Apply Fatliquor 5.0+ directly onto the still-damp suede from step 4.

3. Capillary Penetration:
The fats and oil will follow the path traced by the Hydrator 3.3 to replenish the fibers deeply.

4. Complete Drying:
Allow the suede to air dry completely (preferably 24 hours).
As the water evaporates, the fats and oils bind to the fibers, restoring the suede's suppleness.

Step 6: Conditioning

Product: Suede Conditioner 3.4+ (Conditioner 3.4+)

1. Purpose:

To seal in fats and oils, with a buttery feel, and permanently close the pores.

2. Finishing Brushing:
Once the leather is completely dry, vigorously brush the suede against the grain to recreate its velvety appearance.

3. Conditioning:
Spray a thin layer of Conditioner 3.2+ over the entire surface.

4. Final Drying:
Allow to dry for 30 minutes.

The conditioner imparts a buttery feel, locks in the fats and oils, and shields against sticky soiling.
