Sounds strange, but a banana peel is perfect for polishing leather shoes and silver cutlery.

The sinews on the inside of the skin that have remained there after removing the fruit must first be removed, then the leather or silver can be rubbed with it. Once everything has been thoroughly rubbed in, polish with kitchen paper or a soft, lint-free cloth until everything shines again.

 

You can even use the banana peel polish on leather furniture to make it beautiful again, but as a precaution you should try a small corner first.
