I use an awful lot more Tarrago spray than you. Generally enough so that it takes 30 to 60 minutes for the nap to dry afterwards. I find I can then run the boots under the tap and the water just rolls off. That makes them "Scotland proof". I tend to do a number of boots in one go, throw the windows open and hide upstairs until the fumes disperse. BTW, the Saphir version of this spray smells worse.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Teik. Lovely, relaxing video. BTW, have you heard of JADD shoes? He's a UK manufacturer. I bought a pair of desert boots from him 6 months ago and couldn't be happier with the quality/price ratio. His stuff would probably be right up your street.
I use the spray The Pink Stuff on my Crockett and Jones and Trickers Henry suede boots, spray it on, brush with a nail brush, leave it for a few minutes, wipe with a damp cloth, then a dry cloth, put in trees overnight, brush with a suede brush the nap next day, bingo, job done.
Interesting how the Saphir suede cleaning product requires applying using an applicator rather than a cloth. And it therefore gets much wetter (and with a lather) then requires almost rinsing with water afterwards.
This is why I don't wear suede anymore. Blood, vomit, urine, spilled cocktails, food, sauce, gravy, lubricants, chemicals....... all of that stuff soaks into the suede. Good luck trying to brush it out of the nap. I'd like to send my shoes to Teik, and he can make a video explaining honey, chocolate syrup, BBQ sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, caramel, au jous, sweet and sour...... all the things that my suede boots picked up in one shift as a dishwasher. Then there's transmission fluid, motor oil, brake fluid, and all of the things I pick up in the garage. You don't want all the details of a night out where I go bar hopping.
Thanks Teik for an informative vid. Hope you and the family are doing well. 😊😊
@@DenisMillar we are, thank you
