Leather boots: Maybe it’s time to clean your leather? Here’s an easy way to clean leather shoes with stuff you probably have in your pantry: Mix two tablespoons of castile soap (we love Dr. Bronner’s) into a large bowl of warm water. Dip a clean rag into the water and wring it out so it’s not sopping. Then wipe your shoes clean of stains, dirt, and debris (as many times as it takes). At the end, dab away any leftover soap with a clean rag wet with just water. Let dry overnight. You can condition with leather conditioner or just a thin layer of coconut oil.
