Step 3Wipe the leather

Wipe the leather with a dry, soft cotton cloth to remove any light stains and or dust. This keeps stains and dust from becoming embedded or scratching the leather when you apply polish. Shoes cleaned with saddle soap should be allowed to dry for five minutes before you proceed to the next step.

  • Place your non-dominant hand into one shoe.

     

  • Hold the shoe firmly on the paper. This will give you good leverage for optimum cleaning.

     

  • Take up Cloth #1 (The Cleaner) with your dominant hand.

     

  • Wipe the leather to remove dust, dirt, and any spots that have accumulated. Move from front to back--first on the left side, then on the right. Moving in a methodical way will prevent missed spots.

     

  • Be sure to wipe between the heel and the sole to remove any dirt. Use the edge of the cloth, held taut between your hands, to slip into tight areas.

     

  • Repeat the process on the other shoe.
