Hey there shoe lovers!


Did you know that you can use a banana peel to give your leather shoes a quick shine? It might sound a bit bananas, but trust me, it works like a charm!


Here's the simple method you can try:

Tools and Materials:

  • A ripe banana
  • Soft cloth or brush

1. Prepare the Banana

First things first, either munch on that banana or remove the fruit from the peel. We're only interested in the peel for this shoe-shining adventure!

2. Rub Away

Take the inside of the banana peel and start rubbing it all over the surface of your shoes.


Make sure you cover every nook and cranny.

3. Let it Sit

Once you've given your shoes a good rubdown with the banana peel, let them sit for a few minutes. This gives the natural oils and potassium from the peel a chance to work their magic.


4. Buff it Up

After the waiting game, grab a soft cloth or brush and start buffing your shoes to a nice shine. You'll be amazed at how they start gleaming!


If there's any leftover residue from the banana, simply wipe it off with a clean cloth. We want your shoes shining, not sticky!
