Why This Step Is Necessary

Old treatment, grease, silicones, wax, and household products interfere with new formulas working evenly with the nap.

If you skip preparation, cleaning and dyeing can result in blotches, and protection will be less effective.

How to Perform This Step

1. Remove dry dust with a suede brush.
2. Work locally and moderately, avoiding soaking the material.
3. After treatment, allow the item to dry completely.
4. Proceed when the surface is neither sticky nor greasy.
