Colour refreshment at Blundstones

Greying black Blundstone ankle boots refresh

Wow, the shoes are quite battered, dirty, gray and without shine. We want to change that!

First, we prepare everything we need for cleaning. These are:

a stiff brush
the outdoors on the road! Cleaner
a bucket of washing water
a spring sponge
Leather Care Cream in Black
an application brush
a polishing brush

First of all, the shoe is roughly cleaned – brushed off once with the Tapir dirt brush and coarse dirt is removed from the bottom of the sole, as well as freed from stones. The wooden shape of the Tapir Dirt Brush is ideal for this.

More intensive wet cleaning

Then we moisten the brush with water so that even the more stubborn dirt comes off better. So we brush the entire shoe once. Due to the stretch on the shoe, it is recommended to use the tapir outdoors! cleaner. This can be cleaned insensitively and leaves no wax residues on the stretch.

We put a shot of the cleaner on the wet sponge (included in the packaging of the cleaner), crumple it properly to create a fine foam. With this we can now lather up the entire shoe and free it from dirt. We then work on the shoe again with the dirt brush we have already used, because the cleaner dissolves the dirt from the inside out.

We repeat this process until there is no more foam on the shoes and the Blundstone is clean. If necessary, you can also remove any remaining foam with a clean cotton cloth.

The dirt comes off effortlessly and soon a clean but greyed shoe appears!

What now? What care? The customer wishes to maintain it in depth and also to restore the original black colour. For this we use our leather care cream in black. Work with hazelnut sizes again and again and spread evenly over the leather with a dark application brush . First the seams, then gradually the whole shoe. Be careful when stretching! Nothing must be added here!

Let’s GLOW

Then use the black Tapir Gloss Brush to polish. This also really incorporates all leather care cream residues into the leather and polishes them to a shine.

You can already see while brushing how the shine comes back to the shoes – in no time at all the shoes look almost like new again! A wonderful result!!

For the right natural shoe care , we recommend our initial equipment set.
