Infographic: Cleaning Your Shoes Step by Step
Remember when you bought those shoes you’re wearing and how immaculate they looked on the store shelf? A degree of wear and tear is to be expected, but that’s not to say that the shoes can’t be kept in near-pristine condition long after they were purchased. Through regular polishing, sensible storage and considered usage (i.e. don’t wear the same shoes all day every day), they can be maintained in good nick for at least a year or two. Here’s a step-by-step guide to cleaning your shoes so that they will continue to look their best.
1. Clean your shoes off
Dust, dirt and other stains will have taken residence on your shoes since their last cleaning, so your first step is to get rid of these with a damp cloth. Depending on the nature and severity of stains, you may need to wet the shoes slightly to eliminate these stains. If this is the case, allow them to dry before moving on to the next step.
2. Scrub the welt
Dampen a welt brush (or one with horsehair bristles) and scrub along the entire welt strip.
3. Apply sole-edge dressing
Your shoes may need a sole edge dressing. If so, ensure to apply it carefully so that the uppers are not affected; you don’t want these becoming permanently stained. Allow time for the edge dressing to dry before proceeding.
4. Apply polish
Use a bespoke shoe polishing brush to apply the polish with a circular motion. Don’t try to be conservative with it; the more polish you apply, the likelier it is that the shoes will become cleaner. Once the entire shoe is polished, leave it to dry for at least 15 minutes.
5. Buff with a polishing brush
Finally, buff the entire shoe with a firm polishing brush, applying the buff briskly from side to side. You can achieve additional gleam by holding the shoe between your knees and buffing it vigorously with a lint-free cloth.

Things got worst each day, every seconds of my life i always think of what next to do because am being fed of me being incapable. i have come across so many health attendant who normally tell me that i have no problem. but i know that am sincerely not OK.
