Your bridal entourage is practicing that all-important walk down the aisle in your garden. Because the big day is just a few days away, you are doing a full dress rehearsal. Every participant is wearing the attire that they will be donning on the special event. You are wearing the beautiful, dainty, costly satin bridal shoes that you just purchased online. Everyone looks marvelous and happy. You are excited for your perfect wedding.
Later, however, you gasp in horror. You failed to notice that the droplets of water that sparkled on the grass have transferred to your shoes. Now, your shoes have unsightly blots and water stains! Oh, no! What are you going to do? There’s no more time to send the shoes back to the store to have them replaced.
Well, there’s no need to worry because there is an easy home-made solution to clean your bridal shoes. In fact, the ingredients in making your shoes sparkling clean again are just inside your cupboard!
1. First, wash the shoes thoroughly with clean, warm, soapy water. This stage alone may get rid of all the water spots, making the subsequent steps moot and unnecessary.
2. If the spots remain, you need to create a simple cleaning solution. Add half a cup of regular household bleach to half a cup of water. Mix this until well blended.
3. Use an old toothbrush to scrub the spots with the water-bleach solution. If your shoes are made out of delicate material, you can use a Q-tip instead of a toothbrush. If necessary, scrub or swab the entire shoe.
4. To remove the bleach solution, which could fade away the shoe color if it is not washed away, make a rinsing solution made of half a cup of vinegar to half a cup of water. Wipe the shoes with the solution.
5. Lastly, rinse the shoes with water. Air-dry them for a day or two.
