Cleaning Leather
First, remove any caked on dirt on your boots with a soft bristled brush or damp cloth, and leave your boots to air dry. Please ensure that your boots are away from direct sunlight or any heaters, as they will dry out the leather.
Apply leather polish, spray or cream to the leather to help maintain your boots. If you are using a polish for the first time, try it on an inconspicuous area of the boot to check whether it alters the colour or appearance.
If using a polish, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a polishing cloth or brush and rub onto the shoe in circular motions.
Watch the Blundstone boot polishing video.
Wipe away the residue and again leave to dry.
CLEANING RUSTIC LEATHER AND PRE-WORN LEATHER FINISH
This same cleaning process should be followed, however we recommend using The Rustic Renovation Cream.
This cleaning product is specifically designed to care for leathers of the #585s, #587s, #2422s and #2446s.
