Cleaning patent leather shoes and bags…

 Magnolia in Black/Ivory Patent Leather

…Don’t bother with commercial patent leather cleaners. All you need is a little olive oil and a couple of soft cloths! Dip a cloth in the oil and rub it over the shoes or bag. Leave for 20 – 40 minutes, then wipe off with a clean cloth.  This cleans the leather, keeps it from cracking or scuffing - and costs practically nothing. Seriously: this works a treat.
