Boot Black Suede Cleaning Bar

At Arterton, we understand that proper suede care begins with the right tools. The Boot Black Cleaning Bar is our go-to recommendation for those looking to maintain the original beauty of suede and nubuck leathers without introducing moisture or chemical cleaners.

Crafted in Japan, this dry cleaning block works by lifting embedded dirt, oil, and darkened areas from the surface of napped leather without disturbing its delicate texture. It’s an ideal first step before applying sprays or moisturisers, and is particularly useful on high-wear areas such as toe boxes and collars where grime tends to accumulate.

Why We Recommend It at Arterton

• Safe, water-free cleaning for suede, nubuck, and other napped leathers

• Gently removes stains, scuffs, and accumulated dirt without harshness

• Preserves the natural nap and finish of high-quality suede

• Easy to use, compact, and mess-free—an essential in any maintenance kit

• Developed in Japan with the same attention to detail as Boot Black’s premium creams

How to Use

1. Ensure the suede or nubuck is dry before use.

2. Rub the bar gently over the affected area using light pressure.

3. Use short strokes to lift dirt—avoid pressing too hard.

4. After cleaning, restore the nap with a suede brush.

5. For long-term protection, follow up with a suede spray or rich moisture treatment.
