How to Clean Wedding Shoes

Satin Shoes:

1. Take a soft dry white cloth and wipe the dust and dirt away. Be careful not to rub the dirt and dust in the shoe.


2. Fill a clean plastic container with water. Put 3 drops of liquid hand-wash into the soapy water. Stir the water with your hand to foam bubbles.


3. Put a small non-abrasive sponge in the water and squeeze slightly to remove the water. Wipe the damp sponge with shoes to remove dirt that is embedded in the shoe.


4. Allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours.

Patent Leather Shoes:

1. Use a damp soft cloth to remove dirt and dust from the shoes.


2. Pour a teaspoon of mineral oil into a small container. Take a soft white cloth and dip it into the oil. 


3. Rub the scuffmarks with the oiled cloth. You may have to use a little force to get the scuffmarks off.


4.  Apply the mineral oil to the whole shoe. Be sure to only use the amount of oil needed.


5. Use a dry soft cloth to buff the shoes clean.
