When bagging up your next pair of D+D’s, the last thing on your mind is keeping them clean. Fortunately, it’s the first thing on ours.

The key to keeping your suede looking clean is simple. Use a protective spray to cater for any liquid incidents. In case of stains and dirty marks across the suede, get familiar with our Labs Cleaning Kit 50. 

Remove any loose dirt with the premium vegetable fibre brush, before mixing the Liquiproof eco-cleaner in-line with the brand’s on-bottle instructions. From here, lightly soak your vegetable fibre brush, massage into the soiled panels and clean off any foam with the premium microfibre cloth.

Importantly keep them out of direct sunlight - bleached suede will need to be re-dyed, so don’t put yourself in that position.

Over time, a well-treated leather is always going to share a little wear and tear - but, there are ways to care for your leather that may prolong its lifespan. Use a protective spray to cater for any liquid incidents. In case of stains and dirty marks across the suede, get familiar with our Labs Cleaning Kit 50.

Remove any loose dirt with the premium vegetable fibre brush, before mixing the Liquiproof eco-cleaner in-line with the brand’s on-bottle instructions. From here, lightly soak your vegetable fibre brush, massage into the soiled panels and clean off any foam with the premium microfibre cloth, allowing to dry naturally before applying leather cream. To bring back your factory shine, use a tonal polish across the upper with extra attention paid when avoiding the white vamp, as any incorrectly matched polish may stain materials or stitching.

Your rubber soles may be an afterthought, but it’s best to treat them in the same way as your leather and suede uppers.

Avoid leaving your soles dirty for prolonged periods of time, as the dirt will become more difficult to extract.

To maintain the shape of your D+D’s, we recommend investing in a set of wooden shoe trees and using a shoe horn to avoid heel creasing. Remember, we gave you a dust bag for a reason - wherever you’re heading, use it.

To preserve the feel and fit of your D+D apparel, we have a few recommendations. A huge amount of love, care and obsessive refinement has gone into creating these pieces over the past 14 months, and we hope that you put the same level of care into looking after them for years to come.

Should you wish to keep the finish, fit and hand-feel of the garments exactly as they are, we strongly recommend dry cleaning where possible.

Ts & Hoodies - Machine wash cold, inside out. Do not tumble dry. Steer clear of bleach, and keep your iron away from our graphic designers’ handiwork.

Jackets - Dry clean only. Simple.
