How to prevent shoes from fading

1. Take care of your shoes before wearing them

If they are not leather shoes, wash them before wearing them. Add some salt to the water and soak them in cold salt water for an hour. Shoes treated in this way will not fade easily. You can also go to a special shoe store to take care of it. Generally, 50 yuan can solve the color protection problem of the shoes.

2. Keep leather shoes away from water

Genuine leather shoes cannot be protected by cold salt water, and they should not be exposed to water frequently. Once the shoes are accidentally exposed to water, the best way is to recolor them. They can be repaired in the store where you bought the genuine leather shoes. Generally speaking, genuine leather brand shoes have special shoe repairmen who are responsible for accidental damage to the shoes.

3. No exposure to the sun

For dark-colored shoes, leaving them in the sun can be fatal. Dark-colored shoes fade more easily than light-colored shoes, so dark-colored shoes need to be dried in a ventilated and cool place, and not exposed directly to the sun.

4. Wash with soap

It is best not to use detergent when washing shoes. It is recommended that you rub soap on the stained areas of the shoes and rub them gently when washing shoes. Even if you need to use laundry detergent, you should use better quality detergent. Laundry detergent can cause great damage to shoes and needs to be diluted before washing. Detergent with too high a concentration can easily cause the shoes to fade.
