Vegan Hiking Boots

Yes, sure we do! Here are some effective tips:

Use Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to create a paste. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then scrub gently with a soft brush.

Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts water and white vinegar. Dab the solution onto the stain with a cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Toothbrush and Mild Soap: Use a soft toothbrush with mild soap to scrub the stain in circular motions.

Rinse and Dry: After cleaning, rinse the boots with clean water and let them air dry away from direct heat.

Re-apply Polish: After cleaning and drying, re-apply polish or a suitable color restorer to bring back the original color and maintain the boots' appearance. Use a soft cloth to apply the polish evenly, and then buff with a brush for a smooth finish.
