Use Banana Peel, Oil, or Petroleum Jelly

3

Description

Certain household items contain oils or waxes that can impart a temporary shine to leather.

Recipe/Instructions

  1. Wipe Clean: First, wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
  2. Apply Shine Agent: Choose one:
    • Banana Peel: Rub the inside of a banana peel over the leather surface. The potassium and natural oils can condition and shine.
    • Oil: Apply a tiny amount of olive oil, vegetable oil, or even baby oil to a soft cloth and rub it onto the shoe.
    • Petroleum Jelly: Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) with a cloth.
  3. Buff: After applying the chosen agent, buff the shoe vigorously with a clean, soft cloth (like an old t-shirt or microfiber cloth) until it shines.
