STEP 1)
REMOVE MUD, SAND, AND OTHER FOREIGN SUBSTANCES BY BRUSHING
First, brush to remove mud and sand.
STEP 2)
APPLY SHAMPOO TO THE BRUSH FIRST
Strike for a good balance between the amount of detergent and the water to foam. At the beginning, the brush is still dry so the shampoo can soak into the brush hair for better foaming. Make sure the foam are well dissolved onto the brush hair.Make sure to get the foam into the brush firmly.
Step : 3
PUT A GOOD AMOUNT OF SHAMPOO ON YOUR SHOES
Fabrics that easily absorb water won't foam well as the shampoo only contain a minimized amount of water si it's not a good match for fabrics that absorb water easily indeed.
If you find your shoes absorbing the foam quickly, wet the surface with water in advance as it helps to foam better. You might try wiping the entire shoe surface with a wet towel.
- If your shoes are covered with mud and sand, remove the shoelaces and clean separately.
STEP 4)
BRUSH GENTLY
Gently wash the shoes, make sure to spread the shampoo evenly on the shoe surface. Avoid rubbing too hard as it may leave damage on the shoe surface.
STEP 5)
WIPE OFF WITH A TOWEL
After washing, use a towel to wipe off the foam on the show surface. It is recommended to use a dry towel or a towel with good absorbency (e.g. microfiber towel).
If you leave the shampoo on the shoe surface, it will foam up and lift the stain but then absorb all the stains. It's important not wash the entire shoe at once, but part by part.
For stubborn stains, repeat the cleaning process a several time.
STEP 6 )
AIR DRY FOR A SEVERAL HOURS
Towel dry thoroughly, then air dry for a few hours.
