No shoe polish? No problem, as long as you have a banana! That's right, you can polish your shoes with this yellow crescent of unparalleled beauty because bananas contain a key ingredient found in commercial shoe polishes - potassium. Here's how:

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

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. It may feel strange to be doing this (and it is) but don't worry, it does work.

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

Admire your now clean shoes. They'll come up shiny and almost like new again; perfectly polished shoes, organic style.

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!
