How To Clean Medieval Foot Wear
Cleaning your collectibles is not nearly as fun as buying and displaying them, but it is something that needs to be done. You should setup a schedule to tell you when to clean them so that you do not forget. You'll find that this tremendously increases the longevity of your collectible. There are many articles on cleaning collectibles such as medieval swords, shields, and helmets, but not many on cleaning medieval shoes. In this article we will talk about cleaning medieval foot wear so that you can keep your medieval sets looking good from top to bottom. I'll even go ahead and tell you where you can go to buy some new pairs of medieval shoes and boots.
The first thing you must do is to create your cleaning schedule. Depending on how you have your footwear displayed, you may need to clean them quite frequently. However, if you have a pair of medieval boots in-cased in a glass case you will not need to clean them as often. People generally aim to clean their medieval items once every 3 months or 4 times a year. Use that rule of thumb and change it to meet your particular situation.
Once you have your schedule picked out, you will need to identify what type of foot wear you have. Leather materials will certainly need to be cleaned differently than metal foot wear. Wax and oil should be used on steel boots or shoes. Leather boots and shoes will need a special leather cleaner and a leather preserver to keep them looking new. Metal brushes cannot be used on metal foot wear because it will destroy them. Water should be kept away from both metal and leather foot wear.
