How To Polish Shoes With A Banana

No shoe polish? No problem! ...As long as you have a banana! That's right, you can go polish your shoes with this yellow crescent of unparalleled beauty, let us show you how!


Step 1:

Peel Banana

Take your banana and peel it. Take the fruit out and eat it if you like, just make sure you keep hold of the skin.

Step 2:

Apply the skin

Using the inner lining of the banana skin, begin to rub it all over your shoes, just as you would if you were using a spot of polish.

Step 3:

Buff

Once you have wiped banana over the whole of both shoes, take a soft cloth and begin to buff them up.

Step 4:

Explainer

The natural oils in the banana soak into the leather, helping your shoes to last longer, whilst potassium, a key ingredient in commercial shoe polish, is found in abundance in bananas!

Yep, totally works. Use the INSIDE of the banana skin, and make sure you use a cloth to buff your shoes straight away, otherwise it'll leave banana crap on your shoes.

Potassium IS a key ingredient in shoe polish.

If you look closely, you can tell that the banana skin isfolded over, so it is the inside that is being used

the instructions say "use the inner lining" but the guy in the video is using the OUTSIDE of the banana. who talks about the "inner lining" of a banana. the peel has an outside and an inside. which are you supposed to use??!!
