Steps to follow:

1

Cleaning your boots thoroughly is a huge part of caring for your footwear; it is therefore also a part of caring for your feet and your health. Firstly, remove the laces and inner soles of your boots. Although they may not be very dirty, doing this will allow you to clean them more comfortably without fear of staining the inside of the boot. It also provides a great opportunity to inspect these parts for wear and tear, ensuring your boots' longevity.

2

Then, take a damp cloth and dampen the whole surface of the boots. Try to keep the cloth or sponge sufficiently wet. Rub the boots entirely without soaking them, eliminating the dirt and superficial dust. On the other hand, if your boots are excessively muddy, consider rinsing them lightly under a tap before this step to make the process more efficient.

When you have completed this, use the same cloth or sponge and add neutral soap to scrub softly. Repeat as often as necessary to the area with most dirt (normally this will be at the sides and the tip of the boots). Careful! Try to apply only the force necessary, to avoid colour loss from the leather of the boots. Rinse the soapy parts of the boots with water. It should be noted that using lukewarm water can enhance the effectiveness of the soap, breaking down grime more efficiently.

4

The final step to know how to clean your lumberjack boots is to let them dry naturally, without sunlight or electrical appliances such as a dryer or heater. Direct sunlight can cause the leather to crack, while artificial heat can warp its shape. Placing them in a well-ventilated area will ensure they dry evenly and maintain their form.

5

If you want your boots to look new, when they finish drying you can hydrate the leather with a colourless cream or special grease for this type of footwear. These products help nourish the leather of the footwear and make them last longer. Additionally, consider using a leather protector spray to shield your boots from future stains and water damage, enhancing their durability.
