Description
Ask any shoe-care enthusiast and they will tell you the same thing: a good cloth is every bit as important as the polish itself. The Famaco Polishing Cloth is exactly the kind of quality cloth I always keep to hand – a soft cotton cloth made for spreading shoe cream and polish evenly and then buffing your shoes to a lovely, radiant shine.
Made in France by Famaco, one of the most respected names in leather care, this cloth has a fine, smooth texture that is gentle on leather yet works polish in beautifully. At a generous 40 x 28cm it is large enough to fold to a comfortable size in the hand, and it is equally at home cleaning, applying cream or giving that final buff to shoes, bags and other leather accessories.
Why choose the Famaco Polishing Cloth?
- Perfect for applying and buffing: the fine cotton texture spreads cream and polish smoothly and buffs up a brilliant shine.
- Gentle on leather: soft enough to use on delicate finishes without scratching.
- Generously sized: at 40 x 28cm it folds neatly to the ideal size for controlled polishing.
- Made by Famaco: the quality and craftsmanship you expect from a leading French leather-care house.
- Multi-purpose: ideal for shoes, bags and other leather goods.
How to use the Famaco Polishing Cloth
- Wrap the cloth around two fingers, or fold it into a comfortable pad.
- Pick up a small amount of shoe cream or polish on the cloth.
- Work it into the leather using small circular movements.
- Leave the polish to settle for a minute or two.
- Use a clean part of the cloth to buff the surface to a shine.
Haico’s tip: keep one cloth for applying product and a separate one for the final buff. A clean buffing cloth is the secret to a really crisp, glossy finish – and this cloth washes well so it lasts for ages.
Good to know
It is easy to overlook the humble cloth, but professionals will tell you it is half the secret to a great shine. An old t-shirt might do in a pinch, but a purpose-made cotton cloth like this one has the right weave to spread cream thinly and buff evenly, without leaving lint behind. Cotton is also kind to leather and lifts away excess product cleanly. Look after it and it becomes a trusted part of your kit: keep separate cloths for applying and buffing, wash them when they get heavy with polish, and they will reward you with a sharper finish every time.
