A real winter nightmare for any person is the reagents and salt that are sprinkled in abundance on the roads.

Getting rid of their traces sometimes seems like an impossible task.

However, you just need to know the recipe for a product that allows you to quickly restore your shoes to their original appearance.

What to add to water to clean boots

The most optimal ingredient that removes stains from both leather and suede is white vinegar.

It is enough to dilute it in a 50/50 ratio with water, wet a cloth with the solution and wipe the dirt. After that, you need to let the shoes dry and, if necessary, apply leather conditioner.

Work on nubuck and suede is carried out in a similar way. Just do not forget that before applying the solution, you need to comb the pile with a special brush for suede, then carefully polish the stains and remove the remains of vinegar.

Another way is to combine baking soda and milk. Just 1 teaspoon dissolved in 1 glass of milk will get rid of the reagents and salt.
