The Process
How Our Shoe Cleaning Works
Inspection & Assessment
We examine each pair for material type, stains, and condition to determine the best cleaning approach.
Deep Cleaning
Using specialized cleaning solutions matched to the shoe material — leather, suede, canvas, mesh, or rubber.
Deodorizing & Sanitizing
Antibacterial treatment eliminates odor-causing bacteria. Especially important in Labuan Bajo's humid climate.
Drying & Finishing
Controlled drying to prevent warping. We apply protectant spray to guard against future stains and water damage.
Quality Check & Return
Final inspection to ensure shoes meet our standard. Ready for pickup or delivery within 2-3 days.
Ideal For
Who Is Shoe Cleaning For?
Hikers & Trekkers
Been trekking around Komodo? Mud-caked hiking boots need professional cleaning to maintain their waterproofing and structure.
Sneaker Enthusiasts
Keep your Jordans, Nikes, or Adidas looking box-fresh. Our careful hand-cleaning preserves materials and colors.
Travelers with Limited Luggage
Traveling light with just one or two pairs? Keep them in top shape throughout your trip instead of buying new ones.
Dive & Beach Visitors
Salt water and sand take a toll on sandals and water shoes. We remove salt residue and restore flexibility.

FAQ — Shoe Cleaning
1001How much does shoe cleaning cost?
Shoe cleaning starts at 100,000 IDR per pair. Price may vary based on shoe type and condition. We'll give you an exact quote after inspection.
02How long does shoe cleaning take?
Typically 2-3 days depending on the shoe type and extent of cleaning needed. Some materials require longer drying times to prevent damage.
03Can you clean suede and leather shoes?
Yes, we clean all materials including suede, leather, nubuck, canvas, mesh, and synthetic fabrics. Each material gets a specialized cleaning treatment.
04Will cleaning damage my shoes?
No. We use material-specific cleaning solutions and techniques. We assess each pair before starting and will notify you if we spot any pre-existing damage or concerns.
05Can you remove deep stains?
We can remove most stains, but some deeply set stains (like permanent marker or oil) may not come out completely. We'll be honest about what's achievable before starting.
06Do you clean hiking boots?
Absolutely. Hiking boots are one of our most common requests in Labuan Bajo. We clean, deodorize, and re-treat the waterproof coating if needed.
07Can you fix scuff marks?
Minor scuff marks on leather and synthetic shoes can usually be buffed out or minimized. Deep scratches may improve in appearance but won't fully disappear.
08Do you clean the inside of shoes too?
Yes, we clean and deodorize the interior including insoles. This is especially important in Labuan Bajo's humid climate where bacteria and odor build up quickly.
09Can I drop off multiple pairs at once?
Of course. There's no limit on how many pairs you can bring in. Each pair gets individual attention and the appropriate cleaning method for its material.
10Do you offer pickup and delivery for shoe cleaning?
Yes, we can pick up and deliver shoes along with your regular laundry. Contact us on WhatsApp to arrange a convenient time.
