lonelyheartemma Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 My sister gave me some gorgeous green suede heels for Christmas and I just spilled a cup of tea all over one of them I'm trying to dry them off but I know suede and wetness doesn't really go and I don't want them to stink of off milk forever (the milk isn't off now but it will be if I can't get it out of the shoes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeangel Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi Emma! I have heard that dabbing suede items with white vinegar on a soft cloth can help with food stains after the main spill has been removed! I know vinegar to be a good deodorant in cleaning anything really (once the smell of vinegar fades after an hour or two!) So if there is still a milk smell you could try that. Then apply the spray when they are as clean as poss and dry to repel further spills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyheartemma Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thank you Hopeangel It's nice to talk to you. That's really interesting, I'll see if we've got some white vinegar and if not I'll add it to the shopping list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeangel Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hi Emma! Very nice to talk to you too! :-D I just wondered, did you manage to save your shoes? Do they look fine now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyheartemma Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 They're fine, thank you for asking! They don't look stained and they don't smell so I think this time I got away with it and next time I'll be more careful. I haven't done any shopping yet, I was worried about my bank balance tbh but it's actually higher than it was before I bought my Christmas presents!
