Clean leather boots. How to properly care for leather shoes: white and colored, winter and summer

The assortment of shoes includes thousands of types of models for all occasions. In addition to the obvious differences in styles, the models differ in the type of upper material.

Natural and artificial leather, polyester, leatherette, nubuck, suede, rubber - all kinds of materials are used by manufacturers to conquer the trade market.

Among summer models, shoes made from various types of fabric have not gone out of fashion for many years. Moccasins, clogs, sneakers, ballet flats, sandals, pantos, sneakers, shoes with fabric tops always look great.

White summer boots made of perforated fabric look very impressive. Consumers of all ages unconditionally fell in love with this type of footwear for a number of undoubted advantages:

• soft texture practically does not rub the skin of the feet in hot weather;
• the material provides ventilation for the shoes, the feet “breathe”;
• pleasant comfort when walking;
• The color range of the models makes it easy to choose clothes to match;
• fabric shoes are considered universal; they are used for sports, everyday activities, and going out.

The advantages of this type of shoe are obvious, but caring for them is also difficult. Leather shoes are easier to care for; they can be washed and cleaned in a matter of minutes with any shoe. Another thing is caring for fabric shoes.

Fabric moccasins, shoes and sneakers, despite their attractive appearance, instantly get dirty. In general, any fabric shoes must be carefully looked after. This is especially true for white shoes, let's be honest - such models are purchased only for one season.

1. Manual cleaning. First, we free the sneakers or sneakers from the accessories: we take out the insoles and laces. You can wash white insoles and laces by hand, but it is better to put them in the washing machine with your laundry; they will wash perfectly without your intervention. Next, wet the top with water and detergent so that the detergent penetrates the fibers of the fabric. A reasonable question arises: what detergent should I use to achieve excellent results at home? White sneakers, sneakers, and moccasins can be safely cleaned with modern washing powders.
2. Laundry soap. As practice shows, it is more advisable to clean colored sneakers, sneakers or moccasins with commonplace laundry soap. Why? For some time now, newfangled gels and washing powders have undeservedly displaced ordinary laundry soap from store shelves. Often, having generously poured advertised powders into the drums, housewives notice with horror after washing that the bright colors of their favorite things have faded significantly. This happens because the principle of action of almost all known powders is based on whitening properties. The blue granules in the powder structure are the active bleaching additives that are ideal for white fabrics. Whereas laundry soap has the function of deep penetration into the fabric and corroding stubborn stains. Soap has almost no effect on the color of things; if you wash jeans with laundry soap, they will never fade. In addition, soap is the cheapest.

You can clean printed material at home with Antipyatin soap or stain remover for colored laundry. White clogs or flip-flops can be cleaned with stain removers designed for light-colored fabrics.

Lather the brush with soap or powder and lightly scrub the top of the shoe. To enhance the effect, you can leave soaped sneakers or sneakers for 15-20 minutes.

Moccasins, sneakers or shoes made of textiles should never be soaked; the adhesive base between the textile and the sole may not hold up.

After maintaining the exposure time, we begin to clean with gentle movements using a brush, periodically rinsing under running warm water, and examining the result of our labors.

1. Automatic washing. and is it possible? You can wash textile shoes in the machine! Our housewives have recently discovered this excellent opportunity for easy care of sports and casual shoes. White textile sneakers wash perfectly in the machine. Good machines have special programs for washing sports shoes; it is recommended to wash them at a temperature of no more than +30 °C, at a speed of 30-40 °C. If such a program does not exist in an old-style machine, you need to set the minimum washing time, pour in a little powder and, since the water will be cool enough, add a wash enhancer. You can also grate laundry soap directly into the drum of the machine. We put white sneakers and sneakers in a special mesh bag for delicate items. If you don't have one, you can use an old pillowcase. If there are several pairs of textile shoes in the family, shoes of different colors should be washed separately. To prevent them from fading, insoles and laces must be washed separately.

After we have finished cleaning the shoes and are satisfied with the result, we should think about drying them. In case of manual labor, it is necessary to blot sneakers or moccasins from excess moisture by wrapping them in an old towel.

In the summer, you can hang your shoes on a rope, carefully securing them to the backs with a clothespin, or lean them against a vertical surface to drain water, avoiding direct sunlight.

During the cold season, the ideal option is to use electric insoles. You can tightly stuff the inside of shoes, except white ones, with old newspapers, changing them as they get wet. Then place for final drying in a dry place, avoiding proximity to heating devices.

Stubborn stains on fabric shoes

Along with normal contamination, the fabric of shoes can become dirty with more aggressive substances. These include oil stains. Machine oil on fabric shoes is a more complicated problem.

Large stains should be treated with chemical degreasers. Machine oil lends itself well to gasoline or a solvent such as white spirit. Wipe the fresh stain vigorously with a cotton pad soaked in the selected substance.

In case of severe contamination, you can apply a “compress” to the problem area. To do this, take a couple of cotton pads, soak them generously in gasoline or solvent and secure them on both sides of the stain, for example, with clothespins.

Well-known stain removers for difficult stains - turpentine, kerosene - also successfully cope with oil stains.

If there is no visible result, the oil can be washed with a mixture of turpentine and ammonia, taken in equal parts. You can leave the mixture on the surface of the fabric for a while or immediately try to intensively clean the stain.

You can also experiment with specialized products. For example, a stain remover pencil or auto stain remover spray can help remove oil from a fabric surface.

You can try cleaning the oil with nail polish remover. Well, after finishing the chemical treatment, you should, as usual, wash your shoes in a machine or clean them by hand using the means described above.

Each piece of clothing requires care and attention. “You are greeted by your clothes, but seen off by your mind,” is an old Russian proverb.

And the British clarify: “Shoes are the face of a person.” To look decent and neat, it is not necessary to constantly attack shoe stores; it is enough to properly and regularly care for your shoes.

You don't know how to properly care for leather shoes? If this is not done, the products will lose their beautiful appearance, and their service life will be significantly reduced. To prevent this from happening, I will tell you how and with what to clean leather shoes.

Features of shoe care

Before cleaning leather shoes, you should remember that the material can be:

• with finishing;
• without processing;
• white;
• colored;
• varnished.

Each of them needs special care.

Information about the material from which the shoes are made can be found on their box or checked with a consultant in the store.

Preliminary preparation

Cleaning leather shoes begins with pre-treatment. With these steps we will remove any remaining dirt from the surface and prepare the shoes for proper care. The action plan is as follows:

• Use a soft bristle brush, use it to remove any remaining accumulated dirt from the surface.
• Use a dry cloth to remove any remaining particles dust accumulated while walking.
• Use a slightly damp sponge to treat stubborn stains..
• Wait until your shoes or boots are completely dry. Place your shoes away from direct sunlight, radiators or heaters.

It would seem that there is nothing particularly complicated about the question of how to clean leather shoes. But you still need to follow clear instructions and recommendations:

Illustration	Instructions
	Type 1. With finishing Apply a small amount of a special cream that matches the shade of the shoes on a soft cloth. Carefully treat the surface of the product, not missing a single place. Wait for the cream to dry completely. Use a soft brush to polish your shoes. Drop some water onto the surface of the shoes. Re-polish.

	Type 3. White skin Taking care of white skin is actually simple. It is necessary to resort to special dyes at home only in case of scuff marks or cracks. To protect leather products from damage, use water-repellent sprays, aerosols or creams.
	colored skin Bright shoes, as in the photo, are no different in their properties from ordinary leather ones. This means that she needs appropriate care (I wrote about it above). The only difficulty that may arise in the process is the need to accurately guess the shade of shoe polish.
	Type 4. Patent leather shoes The main tool for caring for such products is velvet fabric. Patent leather shoes will look even more shiny: Wet the sponge in water. Using light, gentle movements, walk it over the surface of the shoe. Be extremely careful - small particles of sand or dust can scratch the material. Rub the product thoroughly with a piece of velvet cloth.

To protect leather products and maintain their neat appearance, it is not at all necessary to use specialized products, the price of which can reach astronomical heights. I know of several much more accessible means:

Image	The product and method of its use

Practice shows that only a few people know how to clean leather shoes according to all the rules.

Types of leather shoes and their features

There are not many types of leather shoes, but each of them has certain properties and characteristics that affect the features of cleaning and care:

• With finishing. This approach gives the skin shine and allows it to maintain its properties. Such products are more resistant to moisture, so they can even be washed. To achieve the desired effect, manufacturers use different sprays, oils and waxes. These are the shoes most often sold in stores.

• No finishing. Quite capricious products that can only be properly cared for with the help of special products. Only in this case will they not lose their functionality and visual appeal.

• Lacquered.

• A special type of leather, created using special natural and artificial resins. If you clean such a product at least once in violation of technical standards and requirements, its appearance will be significantly damaged.

• Colored.

Understanding the difference between existing types of leather shoes and taking into account their specifics, you can quickly and efficiently clean your favorite products without the help of professionals.

Rules for cleaning leather shoes

When dealing with leather shoes with finishing, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• Preliminary preparation is required, for which a soft brush, a rag and lukewarm water are used. First, use a brush to remove adhered dirt and dust from the surface of the product. Then we treat the leather with a dry cloth, completing the preliminary dry cleaning. Next, we wet the cloth, squeeze it hard and try to clean visible stubborn dirt. We send the product to dry, but not in the sun or on the radiator.
• If after superficial cleaning there are still dirt on the skin, they can be lightly rubbed with vinegar diluted with water in equal proportions. When the desired result is achieved, we proceed to further care of the dried shoes. To do this, apply a little cream of a suitable shade to the material and rub it with a lint-free cloth, without passing through any area. After the composition has dried, polish the leather with a soft brush. Finally, drop a little water onto a clean cloth and polish the surface again.

Tip: When working with leather shoes, experts recommend using only filtered or boiled water. If you wash or clean such capricious products with tap liquid, then you will have to look for a means to remove limescale.

When dealing with unprocessed material, we adhere to the following recommendations:

• In this case, pre-processing is again required, but it has certain specifics. First you need to clean the surface of the product with a dry brush, then with a slightly damp cloth. If there are old stains on the skin, then take a little saddle soap, whip it into a thick foam, apply it to the problem area and rinse with water. We properly dry the shoes (without external sources of influence) and begin caring manipulations.
• Care completely duplicates the approach typical for products with finishing treatment, but for final polishing, not water, but mink oil is used.

When caring for other types of leather shoes, you need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Contrary to popular belief, patent leather cannot be washed in the literal sense of the word. You need to take a clean sponge, moisten it in water, squeeze it out and lightly treat the surface. Do not rub the skin; even fine sand can scratch the waxed material. Next, wait until the product dries and polish it with a velvet cloth. If patent leather has become stiff, it can be restored with castor oil.
2. In the case of colored leather, first of all we pay attention to the type of processing and act according to one of the instructions already given. After you have managed to clean the material, it needs to be treated with an appropriate cream (if the leather is not patent leather) and the main thing here is not to make a mistake with the color and work on the entire surface without being distracted. Otherwise, after some time the product will become stained.
3. To pre-treat white items, take a sponge, soap (can be replaced with shampoo) and water. Prepare a homogeneous solution without lumps or drops from water and soap. We wet a soft sponge in it, squeeze it lightly and pass over the surface of the skin. You should not wash white items, even if it seems that the material will withstand such exposure. After cleaning, repeat the procedure with clean water and dry the shoes. It is best to treat stubborn stains with specialized store-bought products or milk. Care for white skin consists of the use of colorless aerosols and sprays. If cracks and abrasions appear, we add waxes and oils for white leather to our arsenal of products.

The listed cleaning methods are recommended to be used not only in case of obvious contamination. It's better to use them every day. This will prevent rapid wear of the products and maintain their original appearance for several years.

Not all owners of beautiful leather shoes know how to properly care for them and which cleaning method is most preferable. Of course, brushes, flannel or woolen rags are best suited for caring for leather products, but wet cleaning of shoes will not hurt, especially if you use shoes for daily wear. From our article you will learn how to wash and remove stubborn dirt from leather shoes (sneakers and boots) with water, so as not to deform them and restore the original attractiveness, shine and cleanliness of your favorite shoes. After all, shoes polished to a shine look much more attractive.

Can leather shoes be washed?

When purchasing shoes in a store, take care of them. Fortunately, every store that sells shoes also offers related products - from jars of cream, stretchers, foams to sprays, etc. The appearance of your shoes will look presentable for much longer if you take care of their care products. After all, uncleaned shoes quickly deteriorate and render them unusable.

However, if, with daily wear, the shoes have lost their former luster and newness, then use wet cleaning - both outside and inside the product. Wipe off dust from your shoes with a damp cloth; do not rush to water them.

Important! Manufacturers of leather shoes strictly prohibit washing their products in an automatic washing machine. In addition, to clean leather products, do not use washing powders, bleaches or stain removers. When treated with such aggressive agents, even the best elastic leather is greatly deformed, and the consequences of such cleaning can be disastrous: one pair of shoes can stretch greatly, while another, on the contrary, will become tight. But these recommendations can be slightly circumvented if you take into account the quality of your pair. As practice shows, if you approach this process wisely, it is quite possible.

Types of shoes

First, we need to say that every leather product requires some care. There are several types:

• with finishing;
• without finishing;
• varnished;
• colored;
• white.

Each of these types of leather differs in certain properties, so it is impossible to care for them with the same methods. Since, for example, leather with finishing treatment is more resistant to moisture, and without it - less. Therefore, let's talk about each type separately.

With finishing

Finishing treatment is used to ensure that the leather remains shiny and does not lose its properties. As a rule, in order to protect the material, oils, wax and various sprays are used. In stores, you most often find products that have undergone finishing processing. However, if you are not sure, you can ask the seller about it, and also read the product information on the packaging or in the insert inside the box.

Preparation

In order to properly clean your shoes, you first need to prepare them, for this you will need:

Care

Once your wardrobe item has completely dried, you need to do further processing to renew it. To do this you will need:

No processing

If you bought shoes or boots that have not been treated, then in order to care for them you need to purchase certain products. They will be able to maintain the quality of the leather product and prevent it from losing its appearance.

Tip: if you want your boots to remain dry, treat the surface with a special water-repellent spray. It will protect your feet from getting wet, and the wardrobe item will serve you faithfully for a long time!

Varnished

This type of leather is very often used for bags, shoes and boots. This type of material is made using special natural and synthetic resins. The quality of the product directly depends on what raw materials were used for varnishing, however, different types must be cared for equally carefully and in a certain way.

Preparation

Patent leather shoes should not be washed. In order to properly prepare it and clean it from dirt, you will need:

Care

After you have prepared the shoes, they need to be polished with a velvet cloth. Patent leather really loves this material. If you take care of your wardrobe item in this way every day, no one will ever think that you are wearing shoes that are already several years old. This method will help not only preserve them, but also update them!

Tip: if patent leather shoes become hard after you accidentally wet them, wipe the surface with castor oil.

Colored

Very often you can find green, red or orange shoes on store shelves. Different colors are achieved with dyes that are used to color the material at the time of manufacture. This leather is not much different from ordinary black leather, the only thing you need to guess is the choice of the shade of shoe polish that suits your product.

In fact, the care and preparation for this type of product is identical to ordinary leather shoes. The main thing is to be able to distinguish where there was processing and where there was not, but this was written above.

White

It would seem that white shoes also belong to the subspecies of colored products. However, it also needs to be cleaned properly. Stains that appear on light-colored items are quite difficult to remove, so let’s talk separately about how to clean white leather.

Preparation

• sponge;
• soap;
• water.

3. Gently wipe the surface of the shoes.
4. Let the product dry, avoiding exposure to sunlight, which may cause it to turn yellow.

If stubborn stains appear on the surface, they can be removed with gasoline or a special cleaner for white leather.

Care

Caring for white skin is quite simple. You should not treat it with dyes unless it is worn or cracked. In any other case, use aerosols, sprays or colorless cream containing wax and water-repellent. In this way, you will not only protect the product from water, but also allow it to serve you for many years without losing its fresh appearance.

These are the simple ways you can care for your shoes effectively and correctly. At the same time, without turning to specialists and without spending money on new products, because the old ones will look like they came straight from the store!
