Patent Care Guide
Step-by-step
- Remove any laces from the shoes and insert shoe trees into the shoes to help maintain the shape. Then brush the leather with a soft brush to remove any surface dirt or dust. Make sure to use a clean brush for this job. If you cannot remove all the dirt with a brush dampen a soft cloth with water and rub any stubborn dirt off.
- To cleanse and shine the patent leather use Vernis Rife. Apply sparingly with the enclosed cotton cloth. Leave to dry, then buff to a shine with a selvyt cloth.
