importance of shoe cleaning

Protect Your Shoes with Professional Cleaning

Your shoes are exposed to constant wear, moisture, and dirt that gradually break down materials and dull their appearance. 

While cleaning your shoes at home can help, it doesn’t always get the job done and can even damage delicate materials.

At Suede Master, we handle that for you. We use cleaning methods tailored to each material to lift dirt, refresh the interior, and restore the overall look without compromising quality.

I had a great experience with Suede Master. They did an excellent job cleaning my clothes—everything came back looking fresh, well-pressed, and like new. The staff was friendly and professional, and the whole process from drop-off to pickup was smooth and convenient. I also appreciated the attention to detail and the care they put into handling the garments. The pricing was fair for the quality of service. I would definitely recommend Suede Master to anyone looking for reliable dry cleaning.

I recently got two pairs of Uggs cleaned with this company, and I’m extremely impressed! The turnaround time was very quick, and my shoes look amazing. My black Uggs were especially dull in color before, but not only did they clean them, they also restored the color and made them look brand new again. Truly exceptional service—please keep up the good work!

I recently had my leather handbag repaired and cleaned by Suede Master. I couldn’t be happier with the results! The team was incredibly professional, and they took great care of my bag. The cleaning restored its original shine and softness, and the repairs were flawless—better than I imagined. The leather feels rejuvenated, and the bag looks like new again. I was also impressed with how timely the service was and the friendly customer support throughout the process. If you’re looking to give your designer pieces a second life, I highly recommend Suede Master. Their expertise and attention to detail are top-notch!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We offer free pickup and delivery on orders over $75 across Southern Ontario, from London to Ottawa. Your shoes are collected, cleaned at our facility, and returned to you within 14 days. If you’re outside Southern Ontario, you can also ship your shoes to us from anywhere in Canada and we’ll have them returned within 14 days.

Cleaning is completed within 7 days. With pickup and delivery included, most orders are returned within 14 days. If you have a specific deadline, like an event or trip, let us know when you book and we’ll work around it.

Yes, but suede requires a different approach than leather or fabric. It’s more porous, more sensitive to moisture, and easier to damage with the wrong products or technique. We use material-specific cleaning methods suited to suede, avoiding water-based approaches that can cause stiffening, staining, or nap damage so the texture and appearance are preserved throughout the process.

Yes. We have extensive experience cleaning and restoring designer footwear from brands including Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, Balenciaga, Jimmy Choo, and Coach, among others. High-end shoes are cleaned using methods suited to their specific materials and construction, not a blanket approach that risks damaging the finish or hardware.

Yes. Odours typically come from the insoles and inner lining, where moisture and bacteria accumulate over time. We treat the interior of the shoe separately from the exterior, cleaning the insoles and inner lining to address the source of the smell rather than just masking it. The result is a shoe that feels noticeably fresher from the inside out.

We clean everyday footwear (sneakers, canvas shoes, running shoes, Converse), leather and suede shoes and boots, dress shoes, wedding and satin shoes, UGG boots, ski and snowboard boots, and designer and luxury footwear. If you’re unsure whether we can help with a specific pair, contact us and we’ll let you know.

Yes. All shoe cleaning is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with the results, we’ll re-service your footwear at no additional charge.
