Cleaning The Inside of Second Hand Leather Shoes

RE: Cleaning The Inside of Second Hand Leather Shoes Post By Ariana (Guest Post) (04/04/2006) Are you sure white vinegar will do the trick to clean with a damp cloth ? Editor's Note It should work and kill any foot problems that might be in there and also remove odors.

That way you can short-circuit athlete foot fungus - If it does appear - & the shoes are leather - treat the shoes as you would your feet with anti-fungal cream.

Even if someone had sneezed into the shoes, which is highly unlikely, any germs that might have been there would not survive the journey from home to the thrift store, sitting on the thrift store shelf, and then to your home. And don't EVER wash leather in a washing machine!

But regular white vinegar should do the trick to clean and disinfect both the inside and out of the shoes and once it dries the smell of the vinegar will disappear! Good Luck! Rebekah
