Shoe cleaner foam is typically used by spraying it directly onto the shoe, wiping clean with a microfiber towel, and allowing the shoe to air dry. No bowl or water is needed.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Shake the Can: Shake the can of shoe cleaner foam well before use to ensure the ingredients are properly mixed.
-
Apply the Foam: Spray the foam directly onto the soiled areas of your shoes. Don't over-saturate the material; a light, even coating is usually sufficient.
-
Wipe Clean: Use a clean microfiber towel to gently wipe the foam and dirt away. Apply light pressure and work in small sections. For stubborn stains, you might need to repeat the process.
-
Repeat if Necessary: If stains persist, repeat the application and wiping process until the shoe is clean.
-
Air Dry: Allow your shoes to air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight or heat, which can damage some materials.
Key Considerations:
- Material Compatibility: While most shoe cleaner foams are designed for a variety of materials, it's always best to test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't discolor or damage the shoe.
- Microfiber Towel: Using a microfiber towel is important because it's gentle on the shoe's material and effectively lifts dirt.
- Drying Time: Drying times can vary depending on the shoe's material and the amount of foam used. Be patient and allow the shoes to dry completely before wearing them.
