good tip. i've been using a toothbrush and toothpaste to good effect, but I've got some denim bleed on the back of my Upper Playgrounds that is a bit stubborn. I'll have to try this method out.

OxiClean is actually a laundry detergent... it started out as a powder only that you use when washing clothes. A couple years ago, they came out with a spray version which is a stain pre-treatment. I actually stumbled across it when I was looking for a spray to clean my couch armrests.

The stuff works great. Do they carry it in Germany? If so, Try this method out, It's worked for me every time.

I wouldn't recommend using Oxiclean on Suede. I dont; know that anything would remove watermarks on suede. I would say if you need help on suede, go down to a local leather jacket store or cleaner that handles leather and ask them. just my two cents.

yeah, a suede block would be the first thing i'd try. available at any shoe repair shop or anyplace you'd get shoe polish.

once they're sorted out make sure you spray them with protector so it doesn't happen again.
