    Cleaning Patent Leather

    Quick Fixes

    I found this great tip for cleaning patent leather in the September issue of Lucky magazine.

    You’ll need: A couple of cotton pads and a bottle of standard-issue nail polish remover.

    How it’s done: Immediately after wear, just spot-clean surface stains by lightly rubbing with a cotton pad doused in nail polish remover.  Air-dry for about five minutes, then store the item in a cool place.  NB: Patent easily absorbs colors from other leather pieces, so wrap bags in tissue paper and keep shoes in their own box.

    I love it when I find great cleaning tips that are so easy, simple, and inexpensive!

    I’ve actually been thinking about implementing the same practices in my home and residential cleaning business. Great thoughts and thank you for the helpful information.
