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

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!
