If you’re wondering how to get your shoes ‘as good as new’ again, then here’s our step-by-step guide to cleaning your shoes that’ll have them looking spick and span in no time!

1. Boot the mud

First things first, knock off all that nasty mud! Our Shoeboy’s Shoe Polish brush is perfect for shoes in need of a clean! The sturdy upper and powerful bristles make cleaning your shoes a quick and easy job. If you’re struggling to get all the mud off, then our Shoeboy’s combi clean brush has various bristles and edges, making it ideal for cleaning those hard-to-reach places!

2. Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth

Ensure the cloth is not soaking wet, as this will make the mud worse. Apply a warm, damp cloth to the shoe and gently wipe the area clean. Start by wiping the sole, then begin cleaning the upper material.
