Cleaning shoes...

[NiceCupOfTea]

Hi folks,

I have a pair of boots (Cats) and a pair of shoes made from leather, but they have a sort of matt finish (not shiny leather, but not suede either).

I have sprayed them with that aerosol "protector" stuff, but they are getting marked and there are a couple of scuffs on one.

What can I do to clean them? Obviously polish is no good...

Use non gloss dubbin in the colour you want

then sack the Polish cleaner and get one from Portugal (or ask Carrera2?)....

Haven't cleaned a pair of shoes for a while, I just pick up a new pair of shoes in ASDA when the old ones start looking a bit dull.

I've only had this pair a week

If I want to refresh 'rough' looking shoes, I just reach for my angle grinder...

If you have any crépe rubber use that to remove any scuff marks or go into a Clarks store and ask for a cleaning block.
