The are many ideas on how to clean a pair of shoes and I dare say my method is not that original. However, this process works for me and I hope it helps you to achieve a great looking pair of shoes.

Before you begin the polishing process, it is important that you first clean your shoes to remove any built-up dirt, salt or dust - otherwise the dirt could get trapped beneath the polish or scratch the surface of the leather.

1. Brush your shoes vigorously with the Horsehair Brush to remove any dirt and debris.

(Alternatively, use a dampened cloth to wipe all around the surface of the shoe – make sure you now leave the shoes to dry thoroughly before moving onto the next step)

2. Using small circular motions, apply the shoe polish or cream evenly to your leather shoe or boot with the Dauber Brush.

(Make sure to match colour of the polish to your shoe leather as closely as possible.

Allow 15 – 20 minutes for the polish to dry.)

3. Once the polish has thoroughly dried, vigorously brush the entire shoe or boot to a brilliant shine using the Polishing Brush.

(This will brush off all the excess polish leaving only a thin film on the outside of the leather and a gloss finish.)

4. Finally for that extra shine to your leather shoes or boots, give a finishing buff with the Polishing Cloth.
