Brush off dirt and sand
Start by brushing to remove dirt and sand. Enamel surfaces scratch easily with a brush, so only use the brush for this step — use your hands or a towel for all subsequent steps.
Apply an appropriate amount of shampoo to the shoes
Apply an appropriate amount of shampoo to your hands and spread it on the shoe surface. Enamel products absorb very little moisture, so a small amount is sufficient.
Gently wash with your hands or a microfiber towel
Since brushing can scratch the enamel surface, wash gently with your hands or a microfiber towel. Spread the shampoo evenly and wash gently.
Wipe off foam and dirt with a towel
After washing, towel dry. We recommend using a well-dried towel or highly absorbent microfiber towel. Enamel products absorb very little moisture, so in most cases towel drying alone is sufficient with no additional drying time.
Allow to dry for several hours
Dry for several hours out of direct sunlight. After drying, applying enamel-specific cream or spray to protect the surface will help maintain the shine. Please rinse the brush with water after use.
