Shoe shine and lace refresh
Restore the appearance of scuffed dress shoes and clean or replace dirty laces before wearing them to work or an event.
⏱ 30분★ 보통
현재
A pair of leather or synthetic shoes have a dull finish, visible scuff marks, dirt on the soles, and laces that are stained or frayed.
난관
Scuffs hold embedded dirt in creases and around the welt so polish can sit unevenly, and the laces are stained or frayed so they won't look tidy after a simple wipe.
기대
Shoes will show an even polished finish with reduced scuffs, clean soles, and laces that are either cleaned or replaced, neatly threaded and tied.
