Satin shoes
If you have a favourite pair of satin shoes than here is a few quick and easy tips to cleaning them up for the up and coming race day. Firstly, find where the stains are decipher what type of stain it is, wine, dirt or food. Second step is to get some laundry soap, water and a hard bristle brush. Coat the brush with soap and water then lightly scrub the spots you have identified as the dirtiest. Once you have scrubbed both shoes rinse them with water and lay to dry if there is a toe insert it is a good idea to fill it with tissue paper as it will ensure that the toe will not cave in and will keep its shape.
Leather shoes
Leather is a little different to satin as you will need a leather conditioner or softener most shoe stores will sell it or if your confused come on into eLaundry and talk to our amazing staff. Firstly identify all the spots which need your attention, secondly with a soft cloth and your leather conditioner wipe over the shoes and additional problem spots. Lay the shoes to rest and dry also placing tissue paper into the toes of the shoes will help keep their shape and also avoid caving of the toe.
