How to Shine Leather and Leaves With a Banana

Are you tired of shining your shoes with that smelly shoe polish? Or do you have leather that just looks tired and old? Well, there is a natural way to shine shoes, leather, and houseplant leaves. Simply read this article to learn how to make your house shine like new.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• banana
• lint free cloth
• plants
• leather

1. KEEP THE PEEL:
   
   Get a banana and eat it. Do not throw the banana peel. The peel is the important part for the buffing process. Get a banana peel and start rubbing the outside of your shoes in a circular motion. Rub the inside of the banana peel to both shoes. Allow it to dry for a couple of minutes.

2. BUFF AND CONTINUE:
   
   Use the lint free cloth to remove the banana slime and buff your shoes. Your shoes look like new and it was done without a harsh chemical. Now find another leather item and do the same to that item. If you want to start on a small item, you can try this on a leather belt first.

3. DON'T FORGET THE PLANTS:
   
   Go to your house plants and rub the inside of the banana peel with the leaves. Once you've rubbed all the leaves you can now buff them with the lint free cloth.
   Continue to do this for all houseplant and leather items you have in your home and you'll see your house brighten up.
