To preserve the compact suede belt bag for years to come, it should be regularly cleaned with a special suede brush or a crepe brush to remove dust and lift the fibers. Before first use and every 4 to 6 weeks thereafter, it is recommended to treat it with a colorless waterproofing spray to protect the material from moisture and dirt. For stains, use a special suede eraser or dry brushing, while stubborn grease stains can be set with a little leather powder. It is important never to treat the bag with water or harsh cleaners, and if it gets wet, allow it to dry slowly at room temperature, avoiding direct heat such as from a radiator.
