This is the outside of my right boot – ie. it is the one I use to drive, so I’m on my heel most of the time:
This salt stain is not good for the leather, I’m guessing. Yet, since I am in my car a lot, I am grateful for how effective Chicago is at clearing the roads – using salt, of course.
A friend told me that vinegar and water is effective at removing salt stains from leather goods. Deciding to do my own research, I stumbled across this website that has tons of uses for household vinegar.
Most intriguing use of vinegar? When frying doughnuts, add 1/2 teaspoon to prevent them from soaking up extra grease.
I’ll let you know how it goes. The boot clean up, I mean.
