What bristle type should I use for different sneaker materials?

Use soft bristles on suede, nubuck, and mesh to avoid fibre damage. Medium bristles work well on leather uppers and fabric panels. Stiff bristles are best reserved for rubber outsoles and midsoles where you need more friction.

Should I wet the brush before cleaning leather sneakers?

For leather, dampen the brush lightly rather than soaking it, and always use it with a cleaning solution. Excess water can cause leather to crack or discolour over time, especially in direct sun during Indian summers.

Can one brush do everything, or do I need multiple?

A two-brush setup covers most pairs: a soft-bristle brush for the upper and a stiffer one for the sole. Using the same brush across both risks transferring sole dirt back onto the upper, which is harder to remove.

How do I care for my cleaning brushes between uses?

Rinse bristles thoroughly after each use and let them air dry with bristles facing down. Avoid storing them in sealed bags while damp, as mildew can develop in humid Indian conditions and transfer to your next clean.
