Being the frugal gal I am, I am always trying to find ways to add to my children’s wardrobe or keep it fresh without breaking the bank. I often scour sales as well as buy clothing and shoes on a local resale site (check out Buy, Sell, Trade forums or Marketplace on Facebook for one in your area). If you have ever had shoes with the rubber toe/sole you know they can easily get dingy, even when purchased new. I bought a pair for my daughter and when picked up, I realized they were dirtier than they appeared in pictures. Enter creative thinking…and a Magic Eraser. It was a quick, easy, and effective way to clean a rubber type surface. I just wet a small corner and used that as well as the dry portions of a Magic Eraser to clean the toe and side soles and voila! They look quite good.

Now a good toss in the washer wouldn’t help but honestly they already look noticeably better. Try it out and let me know what you think.
