In the process of wearing or storing leather shoes, the surface of the shoes sometimes appears white frost, which is generally salt cream or mildew. Salt cream is mainly due to the appearance of leather shoes that come into contact with water (if it is worn on rainy days). It is the skin's salt that migrates on the surface as the water is dried. The salt cream is whiter in color, soluble in water and easily wiped off with water. The only way to prevent salt bloom is to avoid over-contact with the water.

Once the salt cream appears, remove it by first drying the shoes and then wiping the salt cream gently with a damp cloth (such as a wrung towel). After the salt cream disappears, dry the shoes. Wipe again with damp cloth. After slightly drying, it can be done by carefully rubbing the shoe polish.

When leather shoes have mildew, wipe them with a small amount of alcohol (15 parts), ammonia (10 parts), and water (75 parts) solution. After being dried, rub the shoe polish once more and store it in a dry place.
