Clean Ostrich Boots

Clean Ostrich Boots


Ostrich boots are one of the most comfortable leather boots you can buy. The leather is durable and comes in many colors. These boots are considered exotic because they are less common and tend to cost more than regular cowhide boots. Taking care of your ostrich boots and cleaning them on a regular basis can help preserve the life of your boots as well as the look of them.


Instructions


1. Remove all the loose dirt and dust you see on your boots. This can be done with a brush or cloth.


2. Clean your boots using an oil-based leather cleaner or a lanolin-based leather conditioner. Use a clean cloth to apply it. Be sure to wipe away any excess cleaner or conditioner from the surface, sole (unless the sole is synthetic) and stitches.


3. Carefully select and apply a boot color cream. This can help stop the ostrich skin's color from fading. Buff the leather using a soft brush or soft, clean cloth. Do this until a luster is obtained.


4. Apply a thin coat of paste polish if you have darker-colored ostrich boots. Again, buff the boots using a brush or cloth.
