Shoe care tips
THE rainy season is here again.
And wearing a soaking wet pair of shoes is never a good feeling. You could damage your shoes if you don't know the proper way of cleaning it, besides no one wants that because shoes could be really expensive.
Save your shoes when they get wet and prevent your shoes from rain damage. So how do you make sure that your shoes still look like new even in this bad weather?
According to website metroshoes.net, below are simple tips to take care of your shoes.
Dry them
If your expensive shoes get wet in the rain then it is important you dry them in an airy spot or under the fan so they dry naturally. Don't leave your wet shoes near an airconditioner because they will remain damp. Make sure they dry from the inside thoroughly otherwise you may get skin infections wearing damp shoes.
Clean them
If you want your shoes to last long then cleaning them is critical because wet and mud will not only spoil the quality of your shoes but also the texture. Use a toothbrush or a dry cloth and remove the mud stuck on your shoes. Sprinkle a little powder inside your shoes because it will soak up the moistness in them.
Pamper them
It is necessary to pamper your shoes to keep the quality intact if you have invested so much in them, you don't want them to dematerialise because of the rains. Polish them to keep the quality and texture just as new.
Store them right
Packing them immediately or letting them lay around for a couple of days is a big no! If you want to increase the durability of your expensive shoes then storing them in a dry place is a must. Keep them open on a shoe rack and let the moisture in the shoes dry itself slowly but completely.
