This simple do-it-yourself shoe cleaner will keep your favourite pairs looking as fresh as the first day you fell in love with them.

 

ALL-NATURAL SHOE CLEANER

1 cup water

1/2 cup white vinegar

8 drops Lemon Essential Oil

1 toothbrush

 
How to use it

  1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. Take an old toothbrush and dip it into the solution.
  3. Use it to scrub your shoes gently, re-dipping as necessary. (This cleaner works wonders on leather and rubber accents on shoes, making the white parts brighter and black parts shinier; if you’re using this cleaner on canvas footwear, we recommend being conservative with the amount.)
  4. Let the shoes air-dry.
  5. Bring on the adventures.
