Polishing Leather Shoes
For those that have run out of shoe polish at home, this hack is for you. If you’ve run out of the good stuff, don’t go to work in drab shoes. Instead, place some Vicks VapoRub on a clean cloth and use it to polish and buff your shoes. It’ll work just as well as shoe polish.
However, we’re not exactly sure what the side effects of this are, so you probably shouldn’t substitute shoe polish for Vicks VapoRub permanently. Only use it whenever you’ve run out of shoe polish and you can’t be darned to purchase a new tin.
