Um don't get my lying to you but Everett has a pair of white leather baby shoes

- just the old traditional style baby shoe (from Wal-Mart) much like the Markell

DBB shoe, he wears this when he needs shoes out of his DBB...

Anyway - I just toss them in the washing machine, dryer, then put white shoe

polish on them and they turn out great. Not sure if you can launder the

Markells but I bet you could scrub them with a soapy wash cloth if nothing else

then use shoe polish.

Shoe cleaning question...

Does anybody have a good way to clean the Markells? Ava's shoes aren't

filthy, just a little dingy. (White leather isn't the best at hiding

dirt!) I'd just like to clean them up a little. So what do I use--

leather cleaner or something?

Thanks,

mommy of:

Guinevere, on, Ava 8/4/04 right CF DBB 23/7

I would use soap and a green scratchy (like you use for dishes).

oh! I just remembered what my mom uses on her white leather

shoes. There's a product you can get in the states called Soft

Scrub. It's for cleaning kitchen sinks, etc. She swears by it for her

shoes. She cleans them with it and then puts shoe white on them (a white

shoe polish - get at shoe stores).

Darbi wrote on her shoes with a pen. I have found the Magic Eraser takes

ink pen off walls and my table (Darbi's got a problem with writing on walls

and the table, just about anything... grrr...). I'm going to try the

Magic Eraser on her shoes. I'll let you know if it works. I use it on the

kitchen walls and fridge, it gets gunk off right easy whereas spray would

take considerable rubbing. Love the Magic Eraser!

That's what I usually do with EVERYTHING--I figure if it can't

handle being tossed in the washing machine I don't have the time to

hand wash it...so basically it either comes out clean, or gets

destroyed and I toss it. But I kind of want these to stay nice in

case I can pass them on or something. I thought about just washing

them & using white shoe polish.

Well, last time I checked Pennsylvania was in " the states " and we

also have Soft Scrub...hehehe Just kidding!

Maybe I'll try that strange product...if I can find it in our

foreign stores... ;-p

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Magic Eraser! I use it all the time too! I was

such a skeptic (sp?) I got a free sample & was like " Okay, let's see

how magical you REALLY are! " Cut to me--literally 3 hours later--

still " erasing " everything in the house! I did all my walls in the

whole house & everything else I could find! I even moved furniture--

and I was 6 months pregnant! It also works great on baby dolls!

Amen sister - if it can't handle the washing machine i don't need it! LOL! But

when it comes to these necessary little shoes I reckon we ought to exercise a

little caution. Everett's mitchell shoes look awful, i'm really glad I don't

have to show them out in public anymore.

Magic Eraser doe not work to take ink pen off Markell shoes :~{ man... I

thought it would. I got a laugh over your description of the sample in the

mail... I totally did that too! not pregnant though. It's been amazing

for my table though. It even took blowpen off (don't EVEN want to get into

why it got on the table in the first place - NOT my kid!) and blowpen I

think is more permanent than sharpie.

I too am obsessed with the magic eraser!!! LOL! We're such geeks!! I

have to erase my husbands newspaper fingerprints that he seems to 'not

see' all over my white doors. I have also used it to erase ink that my

son kindly doodled all over the white wall.

Love it!!!

,

Where do you live?

The Magic Eraser is made by Mr. Clean brand. It looks like a white

spongey block. You just get it a little moist and rub it on the spot you

want to remove. Like Kori said, you can use it on all spots, scratches,

etc on any surface. It really works!! And it is inexpensive.

You should try it.

I live in St. Louis, I'm sure we have it, can't imagine why I've never

heard of the thing. Sounds great! Thanks!
