I own a Drycleaning and laundry business that does shoe repairs as well , the shoe repairs job done by a cobbler and I am trying to learn whenever I have spare time. He is off now and I was just try to assist a customer with cleaning this trainers as she was not confident doing it her self using cleaning products we sell at the shop. By the way, this forum is for exchanging ideas and learning from each other not some kind of bulling each other. Nothing wrong with asking questions when we are not sure about something. Hope this explanation resolves your concerns... mrkeys and kobblers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike at Vauxhall Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I sometimes worry a little, that if I give cleaning instructions, then the customer makes a hash of it, would I be in anyway liable for the damage? kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I advise customers to follow instructions on product, if any problems refer to manufacturer. Mike at Vauxhall, kobblers and exp121260 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrkeys Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Apparently Mr T has just invested in a few machines and trialing them in a few branches that clean suede shoes, something about a steaming process I've heard. Great idea I think until the soles start peeling away from the uppers or customers start claiming the machine has shrunk their favourite trainers Still hats off to the guy he knows how to make money thats for sure Mike at Vauxhall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exp121260 Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 All this can be done without the need of this machine, however using this machine makes the cleaning look more professional and also can be used as marketing tool/strategy. I wounder if their machine can be used to clean leather shoes as well or its just for trainers and sued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityShoes Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Would you really want to completely soak leather shoes like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Would you really want to completely soak leather shoes like that? No, I'm also a bit dubious about some of the insoles. A lot of them won't stand up to that kind of treatment. Unless the trainers/shoes are labeled washable I wouldn't recommend washing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoe String Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 FAMACO Universal cleaner, be careful over soaking and abrasion on these designer trainers. The Famaco Universal cleaner is powerful and solvent based but really works. Give me a shout 01858-467467 Caroline, i'll send you a sample.
