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.
