Step-by-Step: How to Clean Your Leather Cowboy Boots by ARIAT

Here are some things you'll need to have on hand before you get started:

  • A damp towel
  • A soft bristled brush for scuffs (or a dry eraser will work)
  • A dry cloth or dry sponge
  • Leather conditioner or Leather polish (if shine needed)

Directions:

  1. Prep: Gather the damp rag, soft brush, a dry rag, leather conditioner and leather polish to get started.
  2. Clean off the boots: Use the damp cloth to remove any dirt and mud from the lower section of your boot. Use a soft brush to remove scuffs. A dry-eraser / whiteboard eraser will work well too! For stubborn dirt and mud, you can use an old toothbrush to loosen and remove those particles.
  3. Dry your boots: Make sure your boots are completely dry. If your boots have become wet to the point of saturation, remove the insole and use a paper towel to dry the boot thoroughly inside and out. Don’t dry your boots with direct heat - this will cause cracking.
  4. Condition the Boots: Now it’s time for the leather conditioner. Dab a dry cloth or dry sponge in the leather conditioner. Starting at the bottom section of the boot, rub the conditioner into the boot in small circular motions. Make sure the leather conditioner is fully absorbed. If the boot still feels dry, you may need to apply more conditioner in order to give it a soft, moisturized look and feel.
  5. Polish the Boots: Lastly, apply the leather polish the same way you applied the conditioner, rubbing in small circular motions with a dry cloth until the polish is fully absorbed.
