Scuff marks on white shoes

From TNH Reader Anna Daley:
I have a pair of white dress shoes, and the first time I wore them, they became "scuffed-up". I've tried white shoe polish, but it didn't help. How can I get rid of these scuff marks? Thanks.

Try a little toothpaste. Put it on a washcloth and gently rub the stains. I resurrected many a little girl's shoes with this trick!

I have tried the toothpaste thing and it has never worked for me, but I actually found this site by serarching for scuff mark relief for my shoes and I found a site that gives all sorts of uses for ordinary household items. It mentioned using Cutex nail polish remover and I just found out that nail polish remover works wonders!

If all else fails, try a quick streak of White-Out from a newly purchased bottle. If White out should stain black skirt/pants/jacket, (if all else fails) then try a black sharpie magic marker (to black-out the white-out) (smiles)

Use a damp washcloth and either Comet or Ajax. This always works!

I have always used acetone,just don't used to much and it always has done really well.....just use a cotton ball put some of the acetone on it and take the scuff off the shoe....then put just a little baby oil or vaseline on the spot and rub it in....this keeps the material from drying out......hope that helps...
