Today, your bridal entourage is practicing that grand walk down the aisle in your garden. Because the wedding is just fast approaching, you are doing a full dress rehearsal. Every participant is wearing the attire that they will be using on the event. You are wearing the pretty, dainty, costly satin bridal shoes that you just ordered online. Everyone looks beautiful and happy. You are looking forward to your perfect wedding.
Later, however, you recoil in horror. You failed to notice that the droplets of water that sparkled on the grass have transferred to your shoes. Therefore, your shoes have unsightly blots and water stains! Oh, no! What are you going to do? You can’t 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 restore your bridal shoes. In fact, the ingredients in making your shoes sparkling clean again are just in your kitchen!
1. First, wash the shoes thoroughly with clean, warm, soapy water. This stage alone may get rid of all the water spots, making the next steps moot and unnecessary.
2. If the spots are still there, 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 solution. If your shoes are made out of delicate material, 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, mix 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 clean water. Allow a day or two for them to dry out.
