Dr. Martens boots are not only stylish but also known for their durability. However, after countless adventures and daily wear, they can start to look a little dirty. To help you maintain the quality and appearance of your beloved Dr. Martens, we have put together a comprehensive guide on how to clean them effectively.

What You’ll Need

  • A soft cloth or sponge
  • Warm water
  • Mild soap or Dr. Martens Cleaning Solution
  • A soft-bristled brush
  • Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or another leather conditioner

Step 1: Remove Laces

Start by removing the laces from your Dr. Martens. This will allow you to clean every crevice without any hindrance.

Step 2: Wipe Off Excess Dirt

Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently wipe off any loose dirt or debris from the surface of your boots.

Step 3: Clean the Leather

Create a mixture of warm water and mild soap (or Dr. Martens Cleaning Solution if available). Dip the soft cloth or sponge into the solution and wring out any excess liquid. Gently wipe down the leather in circular motions, focusing on any stained or dirty areas.

Step 4: Remove Stubborn Stains

If you encounter any stubborn stains, apply a small amount of the cleaning solution directly to the stain. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the area until the stain fades away.

Step 5: Dry Properly

After cleaning, ensure your boots are completely dry before moving forward. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the leather. Instead, let them air dry naturally at room temperature.

Step 6: Condition the Leather

Once your boots are dry, it’s time to condition them. Apply a small amount of Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam or another leather conditioner onto a cloth. Gently rub the conditioner all over the leather, ensuring every part is covered. This step not only moisturizes the leather but also restores its original shine and protects it from cracking.

Step 7: Re-lace and Store Properly

Once the conditioner has been absorbed by the leather, re-lace your boots with clean laces. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or damage.

Regular Maintenance Tips

  • Wipe your Dr. Martens with a soft cloth after each use to remove any dirt or dust.
  • Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the leather.
  • Invest in a waterproof spray specifically designed for leather shoes to protect them from water damage.

By following these steps and incorporating regular maintenance into your routine, you can keep your Dr. Martens looking fantastic for years to come. Enjoy your adventures with style and confidence!
