Leather shoes

Say sayonara to toxic-chemical-containing commercial shoe polishes, as well as stained fingers: The next time your leather kicks look like they could use some buffing, grab some vegetable or olive oil from your kitchen counter.

First, remove any dirt and dust from your shoes with a slightly damp cloth, and clean the sides of your sole and the heels. Buff dry with another dry cloth, and then pour a couple of dabs of oil onto a dry, white, lint-free cloth. Gently rub the cloth over the surface of your shoes until all the oil has been absorbed and your shoes starts to get some of their shine back.

For the final touch, buff the shoes with a chamois cloth to really get them to gleam. ::eHow.com
