Use cold water to lightly moisten the outside of the boots only. Do not submerge them in water.
Step2
Dilute a cleaner appropriate for leather to form a solution of one part cleaner and one part water.
Step3
Apply solution to a wet sponge and gently clean boots' outer surface. Rinse with clean sponge dipped in cold water.
Step4
Stuff boots with paper towels or newspaper to hold shape and dry out of direct sunlight or direct heat. Direct sunlight or heat will cause shrinkage.
Step5
Brush boots with a suede brush or lint-free towel to restore the nap.
Step6
Use a mixture of 2 tsp. baking soda and 2 tsp. corn flour to deodorize and soften the inside of the boots. If you wish, you can add a few drops of an essential oil to create a sweet scent. Shake the mixture into the boots and let it stand overnight. Shake the excess out the next day.
