Cleaning
The very first step—remove coarse dust and dirt. A solid cleaner works best for this, as it can even remove stubborn stains. However, never clean them while wet! The shoes must be completely dry.
Conditioning
All materials dry out over time; leather loses its elasticity and natural luster, and cracks and wrinkles may form. Applying a conditioning product, such as Collonil Vario, helps maintain the flexibility, softness, and appearance of leather and other materials. If you prefer natural products, Collonil Organic Protect and Care is an excellent choice.
Waterproofing
It protects shoes from dirt, dust, and moisture. Thanks to the so-called “lotus flower effect,” water forms droplets on the surface and rolls off easily. Regular application of a waterproofing treatment also makes routine cleaning easier. We recommend Collonil Carbon Pro, or Collonil Organic Protect and Care, which combines natural waterproofing and conditioning in one product.
