With daily use and the passage of time, wellingtons can accumulate dirt and dust and lose their original shine. But there’s a quick and easy home trick you can do in less than five minutes to make your wellington boots look like new, effortlessly and with materials you already have at home.
To start with, you need a toothbrush, detergent and a damp cloth. With the brush you are going to rub the base of the boots well to remove all the dirt and then you will wipe with the cloth to remove the excess water. Next comes the key part: the leather. For this you are going to use two flannels and black shoe polish. With one of the flannels, clean off any dust or dirt from the footwear and place some bags inside to work more comfortably.
Apply black salve in a circular motion to help restore the color of the leather.
Then, with the second flannel, take some black salve and apply it to the brogues in a circular motion. After leaving it to work for about five minutes, use the first flannel again, this time to shine. The result is immediate, your brogues are shiny, neat and ready to keep you company. A quick and effective cleaning solution that restores style to any pair forgotten in the wardrobe.
