SAPHIRCleaner Suede Nubuck Leather Omnidaim

Ditch all of your other suede cleaners, because this one reigns supreme! I rarely have to clean thrifted suede items more than once with this formula. It does a brilliant job of lifting water marks, and the little brush is surprisingly durable.

UPDATE: This is THE ONLY decent product for cleaning suede and nubuck, particularly suede. I used others after my first try (review below) and they left a dirt ring around the treated area and did not clean the dirt! Even if they say for suede and nubuck they can't be trusted.HINTS: A gum eraser (not a pencil eraser) will remove slight everyday scuff marks from nubuck very easily without having to use a cleaner. Suede may be a little harder to clean with gum eraser but try. Also use a stiff brush from time to time on both suede and nubuck to keep them from building up dust. Dusty suede or nubuck is harder to clean well. Be sure to clean a spot ASAP - this stuff is like magic if used correctly.Let water help you clean and conserve product according to the enclosed instructions, which are pictures that show this:1. Be certain to use a small stiff shoe brush (not provided) to raise the nap on area you want to treat.2. Using the soft brush provided, apply a small amount of Omnidaim well over the area but don't over-soak it- see next step3. Right away, rinse the soft brush in clean tap water and go over the treated area with the watery brush in a tight circular motion to raise a suds. You don't have to drench it but do not be afraid to get it wet - just not dripping wet. You don't need a full on lather, a little suds is all.4. Rinse the brush clean and go again if you are not satisfied with suds. You might need a touch more product if no suds come up5. Do not worry if the item looks dark or still dirty. Put the clean brush and product away and let your item completely dry, perhaps 24 hours.6. Use the stiff brush on completely dry item to raise the nap again.ORIGINAL: It cleaned black marks off my blue suede jacket. Scary to see leather all damp/wet and foaming but use of a stiff brush before and after makes it looks great. The only drawback is the packaging. It is a French product and has several languages all over the box, hard to spot the English. The text is also very brief, and in fact only a few little pictures for How To Use. I got by OK though, just saying it is unexpected.

Does a good job cleaning the suede shoes which was great!! Can’t do just a portion of the shoe as it darkens the suede and the entire shoe needs to be cleaned which takes about 2/3 of the bottle so the suede has a uniform color. Bottom line is it’s about a bottle to clean your shoes so it’s not cheap but it’s probably cheaper than it would cost to go to a professional and have them cleaned and it does a great job!

Worked perfectly to clean a suede jacket. It

It worked perfectly. Since the instructions were in French I went onto the company's website and the website is in English, Very easy instructions. I think that I was supposed to receive a brush also. It was not sent.However I had ordered at the same time, an easer and brush combo.I read a few reviews that blamed the product on ruining their shoes. Seriously? The complainers ruined their shoes. And they don't understand the nature of suede. It's beauty is in it's imperfections. They should learn a lesson from their own skin which has imperfections. If they want perfection then by plastic. Icky! Or they can get leather that has been "painted," for consistency of look.

Another quality product from saphire. Used to clean my barefoot rangers.

My review is limited. As far as I know, this is an excellent product, but I purchased it for one purpose: to remove water spots/stains on my Amberjack nubuck boots. Despite two cleaning attempts , precisely following the instructions, the spots remain. Very disappointing.Caveat emptor.

Easy to use, doesn't appear to be toxic and great results
