Leather shoes are necessary for white-collar workers at work. They are good-looking and stylish. Dark suits and black leather shoes have always been a common scenery in major workplaces. But leather shoes have personality. If you want to keep the original personality of leather shoes, you need to clean and maintain them carefully. But how to maintain it properly? Next, let's take a look!
It's not the first time to polish shoes, but the first time to polish shoes. It can not only promote its luster for a long time, but also save a lot of energy when polishing shoes in the future. The oiling frequency of leather shoes does not need to be too high. It can be done once a week, so that the luster of shoes can be maintained and the dry crack of leather surface can be prevented. Especially after the leather shoes meet with water, they must be well oiled and maintained once to fully nourish the leather and prolong its service life.
To polish shoes, you need a wool shoe brush and a soft cloth. After oiling, brush the shoe polish evenly with a wool brush and then wipe it with a soft cloth several times. After doing so, the upper will be particularly bright. If time permits, it is best to polish with soft cloth at an interval of 12 hours after oiling, because after more than ten hours, the beneficial components in shoe polish will be better absorbed by the shoes and the shoes will be more shaped.
It's best to have more than two pairs of shoes on wheels. Shoes are actually the same as people. They also need to rest. Only by preparing a few more pairs of shoes to wear, and giving those slightly deformed uppers time to recover gradually, can it maintain the prototype for a long time and greatly prolong its wearing life.
If there is dirt on the surface of leather shoes, it must not be wiped with water or gasoline. Because water can harden leather, and gasoline can volatilize the oil contained in leather and crack it. It is best to gently wipe the dirt with a soft cloth or brush, then apply a little Vaseline, and then wipe it repeatedly with a soft cloth to remove the dirt. Finally, wipe the shoe polish, and it will be as bright as new. If the leather shoes are not worn for a long time, and the leather has hardened, you can apply some earth forest and butter to the leather surface, which can moisturize it.
If frosting is found on leather shoes, you can dip a small amount of warm water with gauze or cotton, wipe the white cream on the upper, put it in a ventilated place to dry, and then rub a small amount of shoe polish for storage. Or use a light soft cloth dipped in vinegar to wipe gently, and then apply the same color shoe cream to dry.
Leather shoes are worn for a long time and have poor color. You can dip the diluted egg white with a soft cloth and wipe it gently to restore luster. Or add a few drops of vinegar in shoe polish to make the color of leather shoes brighter after polishing.
The drying method for wet or damp leather shoes should not be directly protected from exposure to the sun. It should be prevented from drying in a ventilated and dry place. While blowing, don't put the shoe head obliquely towards the ground, but put it straight on the ground, so as to avoid shoe deformation.
For leather shoes that are not worn in the new season, you can't apply too much shoe polish when collecting, because the shoes have certain volatility and dry bath property. If you apply too much, the leather surface will be dry and cracked after a long storage time. It is best to apply a little raw chicken oil, raw lard or glycerin to keep the skin soft and moist without deformation. To prevent moisture and moths, you can put a little moisture-proof agent and camphor pills. Of course, no matter how good the storage conditions are, you can't store it for too long. Take it out once in about six months and put it in a ventilated place for ventilation.
