Patent Care Guide

Step-by-step

1. Remove any laces from the shoes and insert shoe trees into the shoes to help maintain the shape. Then brush the leather with a soft brush to remove any surface dirt or dust. Make sure to use a clean brush for this job. If you cannot remove all the dirt with a brush dampen a soft cloth with water and rub any stubborn dirt off. 
2. To cleanse and shine the patent leather use Vernis Rife.  Apply sparingly with the enclosed cotton cloth. Leave to dry, then buff to a shine with a selvyt cloth.
