How to Care for Dr. Martens Boots
When it comes to cleaning canvas shoes, you may be able to toss them in the washing machine or treat stains with a damp washcloth. However, when you’re caring for Dr. Martens, you need to take more care to avoid damaging the leather. One way to ensure that your Dr. Martens will last for years is to clean them once every other month. Here’s how to properly care for Dr. Martens:
Before you clean your Dr. Martens, remove the shoe laces. Rinse them in warm water and use a little mild detergent if they’re dirty. Lay them flat to dry.
Use an all-purpose shoe cleaner (available at your local shoe store) safe and suitable for leather to wipe off the dirt and grime. Meltonian All Purpose Shoe Cleaner Conditioner is great as it helps condition the leather as you clean.
Use an old rag to wipe petroleum jelly on your Dr. Martens to protect from rain and to add shine. Gently rub the petroleum jelly in and make sure to remove any excess.
Use a clean, soft towel or even a pair of pantyhose to polish your Dr. Martens.
