So long shoelaces: To clean your shoes properly, first, you must get rid of the laces and wash them independently leaving them to rest in soap and water.

Remove the dirt: Before starting the deep cleaning, remove all traces of dust and mud adhering to the shoes by carving, gently, with a brush of soft ropes that does not scratch the skin. Rub constantly to remove dust as much as possible.

Pumpkin Soap: With a cotton cloth rub all the shoes. Once this is done, soak the fabric in pumpkin soap, special for shoes. Rub until you generate some foam that, in effect, will remove all kinds of dirt.

Drying: Avoid putting shoes directly in the sun. This source of heat, in excess, can cause skin damage such as cracking and discoloration.

Hydration: Finally, when the shoe is dry, you can polish them with neutral cream and rub with a brush bolero all the spaces of the skin quickly and constantly until the footwear acquires a special shine.
