Many girls have many pairs of shoes. It's more troublesome to take care of them. In summer, they keep their shoes in winter, and so do in winter. How to keep it for a long time to avoid mildew and damage? Today, I'd like to share some tips to teach you how to maintain and collect correctly, which will help to prolong the life of shoes.
Wear it often
If you have more than one pair of shoes at the same time, make sure that each pair is taken out and worn regularly. Because the shoe is put for a long time, easy to appear degumming, shoe upper crack and other problems.
Shoes need "rest day"
Often wear shoes will absorb sweat and get wet. If the shoes do not have a "rest day", they will not dry thoroughly and will break down quickly.
Don't walk around the world with a pair of shoes. It's better to have a rest day every two or three days. High use rate of work shoes, it is best to have two or three pairs of alternate wear.
After the shoes are worn, they should be put in a ventilated place for air drying. After an hour or two, the shoe cabinet can be taken back to prevent moisture and odor.
Leather shoes should not be dried when they are wet
If the rainy season falls to, if you wear leather shoes on rainy days, you should press out the excess moisture in the upper and shoes with dry cloth as soon as possible after returning home. Then, insert newspaper or toilet paper into the shoes to absorb water and fix the shape of shoes, and change them continuously until the moisture is completely absorbed. Finally, put the shoes in a cool and ventilated place to dry.
But do not use hair dryer, dryer, or directly put leather shoes in the sun, so as not to dry and damage the leather.
Use waterproof spray regularly to prevent moisture
When the shoe is in touch with tide, it will reduce the life. It is suggested to use waterproof spray regularly to protect leather shoes. Part of the waterproof spray can be used for leather, canvas, suede and other vamp.
Different cleaners for different leather
Leather shoe cleaners have different properties, such as gelatin, foam, spray, liquid and paste. Before using care products, it is necessary to know whether it will affect the color of leather, especially light color shoes. Some maintenance fluid can be attached with soft wool shoe brush or cloth, and can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Shoes should be "moisturized"
Like skin, leather shoes need to be moistened. Continuous use of special leather care products can improve the brightness and softness of leather, and reduce the probability of drying and cracking. With shoe polish, shoe paste and shoe spray as shoes for maintenance, it is best to put shoes in ventilated places before drying.
However, the maintenance methods of bright leather, patent leather, matte leather and suede are different. Small editor's advice: when buying shoes, ask the store for the correct maintenance method, and then use special products for cleaning and maintenance.
Regular ventilation
Shoes are stored in closed space for a long time, which is easy to deteriorate and stink. Suggestions: wear less shoes in the ventilation. The shoes collected in the cabinet should be taken out at least once a month to let the shoes blow and breathe.
Spray deodorant after wearing
The shoes are moist and easy to grow bacteria and smell. In addition to let the shoes "rest" and air dry, spray some deodorant for shoes after wearing each time, which is an effective method of sterilization and deodorization.
Keep shape with last
Shoes that are not often worn usually will deform after a long time, so wooden or plastic shoe lasts should be put into the shoe for support.
Preservation of leather boots
Boots, like other shoes, should be clean and dry before they can be put away. Moisture proof deodorant can be put into the boots and replaced regularly, so as to absorb moisture and prevent the boots from mildew due to moisture after long-term storage.
When buying shoes, keep the original filling or support, which can be used to maintain the shape of shoes in season change. Otherwise, the way to keep the shape of shoes cheap and good quality is to stuff newspapers into the front of shoes or boots.
If it's a high boot, the barrel part can be rolled into a tube shape with a drink bottle or cardboard, or even expired books and magazines, which can be used to support the shoe sleeve.
