Sometimes your shoes don't need to be polished, they just need to be cleaned to get the shine you've polished before.

Use a potato slice to clean scratches and dirt on leather shoes. Use the edge of the potato slice to clean dirt from the seams and edges of the shoe.

Potatoes have a slight moisture content and are mildly abrasive, making them great for polishing leather items.

This is especially good for brown shoes that have a lot of stains after having been previously polished.
