Care Instructions for Khussa Wala Shoes

Our handcrafted Khussas and other premium footwear require proper care to maintain their beauty and longevity. Follow these guidelines to ensure your shoes stay in excellent condition.

Care Instructions for Velvet Khussas

Velvet shoes require gentle handling to preserve their luxurious texture.

Cleaning

• Regular Brushing: Use a soft-bristle brush or a velvet brush to remove dust and maintain the nap. Always brush in a single direction.
• Spot Cleaning: Dab stains gently with a damp cloth; avoid rubbing. For stubborn stains, mix mild soap with water and carefully blot the area, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
• Steaming: Use a handheld steamer to lift flattened velvet fibers and remove wrinkles. Keep the steamer a few inches away from the fabric.

Protection & Storage

• Fabric Protector: Apply a velvet-specific fabric protector spray to guard against stains and moisture.
• Avoid Sunlight & Humidity: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent fading and moisture damage.
• Shape Maintenance: Stuff shoes with tissue paper to retain their shape.
• Storage Bags: Keep in soft cloth bags, not plastic, to allow ventilation and avoid dust buildup.

Handling Tips

• Avoid walking on rough or dirty surfaces.
• Do not overstuff shoes with heavy objects.
• Test cleaning products on a small area before full application.

Quick Fixes:

• Stain Remover: Use a fabric-safe stain remover for stubborn stains.
• Odor Control: Place baking soda sachets or cedar shoe inserts inside to keep them fresh.
