Hi,
I actually have never used the rubber side because I want my suede fluffy. I use the brush only. With suede, you want to fluff it up, not make it flatter.

I brush my suedes as soon as I get them, then spray them. You do want to get any contact dirt or oils from someone's skin off. At least I think I get a bettter result when I spray them fluffed up first.

As with exotics, if you are buying them 2nd hand, please make sure you find out if they have been treated with anything before you spray them.

If they have been treated with a petroleum based waterproofer already, just leave them alone. Just brush them.

Hope that helps.

Hi Natalie!:smile1: I got my Meltonian spray (finally) and I wanted to ask a few things. I am going to spray my exotics and suedes: so I should spray them and then leave them to dry overnight, repeat the spraying at the same time as I did the first day and then the following day I will be able to put them back in their box correct?

Also, for my Jennys, the spots are definitely not dye stains. Should I just spray the Meltonian on them anyway? Is there any kind of brush I can try to remove those little stains with or should I not bother?

I also wanted to know if you use the Tana suede brush for brushing your suede. Are there any better brushes or are they all essentially the same?
Thank you

Schnauzer, my can looks the same as yours. It definitely smells bad though :laugh:

... like I said, it may be a tolerance ;) As in, I've killed enough brain cells with cans 1 and 2 that can 3 was just like a walk in the park on a breezy morning :graucho:

Either way, I love this stuff -- I think I've sprayed everything but the dogs. And they're on my short list.

Ok so I sprayed my MBBs, ADs and Jennys!

Here are some pics of what they look like after day 1 of spraying:smile1:

I am a little concerned about my MBBs because I had to brush out some dirt and one of the areas had a spot that was really not coming off so I kept brushing. The suede is a little fluffier there. Does that mean I ruined the suede? I was careful but I did brush it more than the other places:sad: Should I be worried?

I know alot of us were worried about spraying the jade watersnake but it went very well. No changes whatsoever (the spots on them were there before I sprayed).

I think you're freaking yourself out....don't worry the suede isn't ruined. To keep them clean, you're going to have to brush them again in the future and again after that. With time, the suede will get fluffy, it's inevitable. :hugs:

I brushed the suede according to your instructions only :) didn't use the rubber side at all ... I agree I like the suede fluffed!
