How to clean cream satin shoes

[minniemoo]

Hi all, I've recently bought a gorgeous pair of black satin slingbacks which have a cream toe and they cost me a fortune. I wore them yesterday at a wedding and noticed this morning that the cream satin is filthy. I am going to a Christening in 2 weeks and wanted to wear them for that. Does anyone know how I will be able to clean them without the satin going funny or leaving watermarks. Thanks.

I think if you go to a decent shoe store, they sell cleaners for all types of shoes, I bought some from Lilley and Skinner when I bought some cream satin shoes, and it works really well as long as you follow the instructions and don't wet them too much, hope this helps...............welsh

Thanks I'll do that.

I know this question was asked a while ago but thought I might be able to help, just in case your shoes are still sitting at the bottom of the wardrobe or anyone else is reading this!!

Remove the crusts from a slice of white bread and roll the crust into a ball. Rub this over the stain & it'll either fade dramatically or come out completely!

Sounds crazy but works! Almost completely removed a big black mark from the toe of my ivory satin shoes and it's free!
