Chapter 4:  Creepy Cinderella ... Gets a Shoe Shine

9/15/2017

Poor Creepy Cinderella - Her shoes are so, so incredibly dirty from the long, lonely years of storage.  They appear to be made of rubber and are so sticky; they must be disintegrating.  First, I carefully removed the yellowed laces and placed them in a cool water soak with gentle Avon Soft Pink Bubble Bath.  Then, with cotton swabs, and a minimal amount of the bubble bath mixture, I gently rubbed the bottom of Cinderella's Slippers.  Nothing.  Used an old toothbrush - it just smeared the grime around a bit.  But, when the toothbrush was rubbed into a bar of soap (coincidentally Avon's Aloe Vera Soap) ... Voila!  It worked wonders and white was almost immediately revealed.  Actually, the shoes are a soft plastic - vinyl?  After lots of scrubbing with the toothbrush, and only one daring dip in the water to rinse ... just look at the difference!

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
