[ozthecoz]

I know this has been covered before but gimme some cleaning tips por favor

I have some black leather soops - is it ok to polish the leather using a traditional shoe polish and brush ?

what ar ethe best things to use on a discoloured / dirty mid sole

is it worth using that trainer whitener stuff after you have cleaned them

and finally whats best waty to clean canvas uppers ?

blah blah blah

I use a magic eraser to clean the midsole and stripes.. never tried polish TBH, don't really fancy shiny soups! Soap, water and a toothbrush are also the main things to use.

whats a magic eraser

as for teh shiny soups thats my worry but im thinking along the lines of it giving the leather some nourishment to put some life back into it as they are 14 years old superstars

This stuff looks amazing! I can just imagine the advert for it now...
"But wait, thats not all!" The home made ads for these things always crack me up. Still, I think i'll invest in some.
Do you know if it works on suede as well? If it does, it's possibly the greatest cleaning innovation since man first beat his clothes on a rock! (and i'm getting a back ache doing this all the time to my shoes. You need to beat each one for at least an hour to get it clean )

Brilliant! If it can get cum stains outta suede, then I won't need to worry about the tissues leaving little bits all over them anymore!
