How to prolong the service life of leather shoes
Leather shoes are indispensable accessories for modern male and female office workers. However, no matter how good the quality of leather shoes is, there are also taboos to maintain them. If you do not know how to maintain them, a pair of leather shoes that could have been worn for many years are likely to be reimbursed at once. Today, I'd like to share some knowledge about the daily maintenance of leather shoes. Let's have a look!
Leather, like skin, needs to be cleaned and moistened
Leather, like our skin, needs to be cleaned and moistened regularly to extend its service life and maintain its best condition. So, what kind of state should leather shoes be in? The surface of leather shoes should be soft, uniform in color and elastic; the vamp should not have cracks, and the leather should not harden due to drying, let alone mildew.
Daily care tips
When the shoes are not worn, the shoes should be wiped clean with leather cleaner and shoe polish, and then put into paper or shoe last to fix the shoe shape, and then put it into the shoe bag and put it in a dry place. If you find moldy leather shoes, first wipe with a soft dry cloth, and then wipe with leather special brightening detergent.
Leather shoes need "rest"
No matter how much you like leather shoes, you should not wear them every day, because leather shoes also need enough "rest". It's better to have several pairs of shoes in rotation, so that the leather shoes have a certain interval of rest time. Wearing the same pair of shoes every day will cause the sweat not to volatilize, so that bacteria and dirt can grow.
How to do if shoes get wet?
After the leather shoes are wet by rain, the water on the surface of the leather shoes should be patted with dry cloth, and then the leather shoes should be placed in a ventilated place to dry in the shade. Do not put wet shoes directly into the shoe cabinet or exposed to the sun. Because wet shoes into the shoe cabinet will grow mildew, and sunlight will lead to leather cracking brittle, lose luster. If it's raining all the time, use a hair dryer to dry the leather shoes, but remember to set the hair dryer to the low temperature mode. The distance between the air duct and the leather shoes is about 30 cm. It is better to put newspapers into the shoes to absorb moisture. In order to avoid newspaper ink stains on shoes, the paper can be wrapped with tracing paper.
Shoe last anti deformation, carbon package anti mildew
When the leather shoes are stored, attention should be paid to prevent deformation and distortion. To prevent the deformation of leather shoes, the best effect is to insert the last. If there is no shoe last, newspaper can be used to replace it, which can prevent moisture and deformation of shoes at the same time. Mould proof tips: you can put small charcoal bags into shoes, not only to help remove moisture, but also to remove shoe odor.
Leather shoes should be breathable
Chinese people will find desiccant in shoe box after buying leather shoes, but the climate is humid in summer. If you don't wear it for a long time, you should take the leather shoes out of the shoe box once in a while. If the shoes are stored in the air conditioning room, the shoes can be placed in the shoe box. Otherwise, leather shoes long-term storage in the shoe box lack of air circulation, it is easy to grow mold. "
