Dip a shoe brush in the solution and carefully scrub the surface of the leather shoes.

Be careful not to immerse the shoes in the solution when scrubbing, and try not to let the leather shoes be soaked in too much solution. After the surface of the leather shoes is basically clean, wash and wipe the surface of the leather shoes with clean water 1 to 2 times, and place the shoes in a cool and ventilated place until they are half dry.

The amount used is about 100 grams per pair of shoes. During the application process, be careful to allow the oil to penetrate the skin as much as possible.
