shoe cleaner

Leather care product

A shoe cleaner is a product or tool used to remove dirt, stains, and grime from footwear: I need a good shoe cleaner for these white sneakers.

The term also refers to a person who cleans shoes professionally, though this sense is less common today than when shoeshine stands were ubiquitous.
