Love love these newish Cole Hahn shoes. So comfy And with their bit of sparkle can go many places where fancier shoes (heels/ugh!) might be desired.... with pants, anyway. i did some dancing in them recently and there is slight dirt on the toes. Hard to see in the pic. I can live with that, but for future issues... how to clean? they seem to be a tight mesh fabric In pale beigey- cream -blush. It’s those lovely sandy sparkles ( hard to see here) that have me wondering.

Tulip Chairs: To clean or not to clean? (and how to clean?!)
Comments (1)Saarinen Tulip chairs have never really been out of production, so the vintage chairs and a new chair are essentially the same. When it comes to midcentury modern furniture, especially with a a non-wood finish, its value is not adversely affected by being clean. Only a purist is interested in collecting pieces that have hardened foam etc. There are exceptions, such as pieces that are prototypes or have rare "options"....See Moresmelly shoes and sneakers
Comments (9)It's hard to throw away shoes that have plenty of mileage left on them... SO, if you or any friends must have a house tented/fumigated for termites, be sure to put all your smelly shoes, ski boots, etc. in said house, as the Vikane gas kills EVERYTHING, not just termites. Heck, if you're desperate, track down a tenting company that's setting up a job, slip the guy $20 to put a box of your smellies under the tent, out of the way, and make sure he retrieves them before the owners are allowed back in, lol. OTOH, while a lot of shoes might not be MACHINE washable, if they are daily surviving being soaked in SWEAT, they can certainly survive a hand soaking in water with light detergent and a HEAVY DOSE OF BORAX, aka 20-Mule Team, found in the laundry aisle. Borax really neutralizes biological odors. Let soak for a couple hours, at least. Re-oil leather parts with mink oil, saddle soap, etc....See MoreHelp please - cleaning fabrc on athletic shoes?
Comments (4)Thanks Lindac and Patser, I really appreciate. Sorry it took so long to reply. We're in Melbourne Florida. Tropical storm Fay was overhead from Monday night and it's still raining as of 4am Friday morning. Total rain in my area 36 hours ago was 21 inches. Not sure how much more we had since them. Now I really need to clean the shoes (lol) Patser, I'm not sure, I may have seen an email from you to my email account. I've been deluged (pun intended) with emails from friends and family from around the company. Luckily, we are fine and so are my friends and family. I kid you not now I have to research how to handle cleaning some wall to wall carpets that got a little water from water seeping in from the ground. Not a lot, but new problem for me. Again, our problems are minimal especially compared to all in my county (southern Brevard county on east coast of Florida. We also have to take care of screen enclosure that almost took flight during change in wind. Again, we are fine, not huge problems. We've only been here a little less than 4 years. We are experts at snow issues from Chicago suburbs. This is a bit new for us. By the way, here's a cleaning tip. Do not have 4 white dogs that need to be taken out at least 4 times a day in a rainy climate. LOL. Thanks Lynne...See Morecleaning nylon running shoes
Comments (2)I tried the Oyxclean in the blue spray bottle on the nylon, let it sit for 10 minutes and then ran them through the washing machine with laundry soap - it didn't work. Any other ideas out there? The shoes are nylon and leather. Thanks!...See More
