Why You Should Know the Proper Way to Open A Shoe Polish Container

Different shoe polishes have different ways to open. However, most of the times there are no specific instructions as to how to open the container. Thus, for beginners and most people, it gets really hard to open the container without messing up.

The reason behind complex packing of the containers is because of the wax substance inside it. For this reason, complex packing is needed in order to maintain the good shape of the product. That is why you need to know the right way to open the container.

How to Open a Kiwi Shoe Polish

Here are two methods that can help you open a kiwi shoe polish:

• Method 1: In order to open the shoe polish container, you need to hold the polish knob of the lever and try to align it to the end of the knob.

You have to make sure it meets the area below the lid. Then you need to push the knob down on the opposite side of the lever which will trigger an opening.

• Method 2: There is a possibility that the knob won’t work. It may be jammed or have a fault.

In that case, you can put the container with its face down (lid down) and try prying it with a hard object such as a knife or a screwdriver.

In method 2, we talked about how to open it if the knob doesn’t work. However, if the shoe polish tab is broken, you can also try prying it with a screwdriver or a kitchen knife. There is a possibility that it might not work too.

In such case what you can do is, you can let it run in hot water for a few minutes in order to heat up the metal container. Keep in mind that heating the container without protection might cause the polish to turn into liquid.

So, place a small plastic bag over the can of polish and then put on the lid. When it’s heated enough there might be a chance that the lid will become soft enough to twist it open.

If it still doesn’t work, then it’s best advised to buy a new container.
