I hate it when it rains! Why? Because of the putik (mud) that stains my shoes. It makes me look untidy! Nurses always wear white shoes and it is really hard to keep it clean. Whether your a nurse or not as long as you have white shoes these tips can help you.

10. As much as possible avoid walking on wet grass or in mud because it will stain your shoes.

9. Use spray paint on your shoes. Some of my collegues use it to make their shoes appear brand new but after some time, cracks developed and gosh it looked awful! I suggest that do this only if you can’t find any white shoe except your super old yellowish filthy shoe. After using spray paint, i bet your shoe will look nice for about a week. Lol

8. There was a time that i arrived in the hospital with a mud stain on my shoe. I saw the cotton balls with alcohol in the ward and used it to remove the stain.

7. A dishwashing liquid could also be used as a quick clean up.

6. The popular brand of shoe polish has this so-called shoe protectant that looks like wax in a thin circle tin container. It protects the coating of your shoe and makes it easy to be wiped clean.

5. Back to basic. Soap and a soft cloth is a good way to clean your shoe.

4. A tissue is handy. Use it to wipe your shoe everytime it is stained. Don’t wait for the stain to stay longer for it will be hard to remove then.

3. Wet ones/Baby wipes are must haves. Everytime i go out i always have it in my bag. I use it to clean almost anything and that includes my shoe and it works great.

2. The white liquid shoe polish is another great way to keep your shoe white. It makes your shoe look new. Just don’t put too much or your shoe would end up looking cakey.

1. The best way is to use your shoes in hospital only. Put it on your locker and use another pair when travelling. This will keep your shoe from all the stain and dirt and will lengthen the life of your shoe.
