Leather shoes are practical, and there are no problems with caring for them in either winter or summer. It is much more difficult for fans of suede shoes.

Such boots and shoes seem more elegant, but the usual shoe polish and brush are not their friends. We will tell you how to clean suede shoes from salt using improvised means.

The reagents used to treat roads and sidewalks in winter damage not only the paintwork of cars, but also the shoes of pedestrians.

Most often, salt and chemical reagents are used.

As a result, white spots appear on the shoes, which disfigure the footwear. You should not remove them with a brush or mask them with shoe cream.
