Clean shoe cloth

[justsayno]

How do you effectively clean and remove the wax or cream residue on your shoe cloth ?

Do you hand wash them? And if so, in what solution?

 

[koolhistorian]

Hot water + dishwashing liquid.

Err... I don't...

Which cloth? The one for (a) applying cream and polish or the one for (b) shining your shoes?

(a) it should be linen => machine wash hot, hang dry
(b) roughed cotton => machine wash warm, tumble dry

Adding a little soda powder to the wash can help as it is made to make fat water-solvent.

+1 I applly with a colour spesific brush AE have nice smal horshair aplication brushes. I use thick cotton flanell for polishing pre brush and final shine. Also there colour spesific, for travel I have some cloths that are trimed and I use one side for each colour. Its either the same colour or worn out ... So no cleaning

But old cotton tshirts etc also work.

Old cotton socks (I wear through toes at an alarming rate, so always have a supply).
