4 Steps to Clean Your Shoes Properly
Follow the steps to clean your shoes safely without damaging the leather.
1️⃣Clean Your Shoes Thoroughly
Dirt and dust can ruin a good polish. You must clean the loose dirt on your shoes at the beginning.
✅Remove any dirt or debris from the surface using a soft brush or damp piece of cloth.
✅Sometimes, you’ll find dirt accumulating on old layers of polish. In these cases, use a leather cleaner or mild soap to strip them down.
✅Before applying a fresh coat, dry your pair of shoes completely.
2️⃣Apply the Shoe Polish
Once your shoes are clean, apply the polish.
✅Take a small amount of shoe cream or polish on a hard brush and apply it to the shoe. Use small circular motions to distribute it uniformly across the surface.
✅Make sure to cover the entire surface evenly. Pay extra attention to scuffs or faded areas.
✅Allow the polish to settle for 5 -10 minutes so that it absorbs into the leather.
Professionals at Shoe Repair Dubai use a cream polish before applying a wax polish for extra conditioning.
3️⃣Buff for a Natural Shine
Now comes the magic!
Use the horsehair brush and buff the shoes in quick, light strokes. This distributes the polish and brings out a soft and natural shine.
If you want even more shine, repeat the process. Apply another thin layer of shoe polish and buff it again.
4️⃣The Water Shine Technique (Optional)
Here’s a technique that can give you a mirror-like shine with high gloss.
✅Add a few drops of water to your polishing cloth.
✅Rub the shoe using the cloth in small, circular motions.
This process smoothens out the wax layer and creates a brilliant shine.
