Leather Shoes

A quick brushing will remove most dirt and mud.
An occasional application of shoe polish is also advised.

Patent Leather Shoes

All that is required to maintain the shine is a wipe with a damp cloth.

Suede Shoes

These shoes need to be washed with a wet cloth and some Marseilles soap. A fine sheet of sandpaper, metal brush, or a small rubber block are good for removing stains. Spraying with a weather proofer is a great preventative measure.

Canvas Shoes

Machine washing is not recommended. Completely immersing a shoe in water could remove the glue between the sole and the uppers. The best method of cleaning is a damp cloth and some Marseilles soap.

Drying Shoes

Drying Shoes that have just been washed or are damp from rain or perspiration should be dried following these recommendations: - Never dry shoes near a radiator or with a hair dryer. This causes them to wrinkle and lose their flexibility. - Leave shoes out to dry in the open air out of the direct sunlight. - Stuffing the shoes with tissue or newspaper will help them keep their shape.
