Use mild soapy water: When cleaning leather sandals in summer, using mild soapy water is the best choice. You can gently wipe the shoe surface with a soft cloth dipped in soapy water, and then rinse it with clean water.
Avoid wiping with a wet cloth: Stains on leather shoe surfaces cannot be wiped with a wet cloth, nor can they be soaked in water, as this will damage the color and gloss of the shoe surface, causing the leather shoes to harden and deform.
Use specialized cleaners: For light-colored leather sandals, you can gently wipe with a soft cloth dipped in the same color shoe polish. For smooth leather sandals, wipe off stains with a dry cloth and then apply some shoe polish.
Use toothpaste for cleaning: You can squeeze toothpaste onto the shoe surface, and then gently wipe with a soft cloth to remove stains.
Maintenance methods
Oil care: After cleaning, let the shoes air dry naturally for half an hour, then use a brush to evenly apply shoe polish, and after it is fully absorbed, polish with a larger brush.
Storage: After maintaining the shoes, place them in a ventilated area to dry for a while, using paper towels or newspapers for support inside the shoes. If storing shoes in a shoebox, it is recommended to place a dehumidifier or moisture-proof bag inside the shoebox to prevent moisture and mold.
Regular maintenance: It is best to apply a small amount of lard before storing, as it helps keep the leather soft and moist, making it less prone to deformation.
Additional tips
Use appropriate cleaning tools: Choose suitable cleaning tools based on the different materials of the shoes, such as shoe brushes, white shoe cleaning whiteners, leather care oils, etc.
Avoid using hot water: Do not use hot water when cleaning to avoid affecting the leather.
Regularly check the shoes: Regularly check the shoes for any damage or wear, and repair or replace them in a timely manner.
