Little Stalky Cleans Her Shoes

After a rare night out into town on Saturday, I was most upset to return home and realise that my beautiful red shoes had become marked and grubby.  I love my shoes.  They're bright red and have massive high heels.  What's not to love.  But it seems not everyone loves my red shoes because there was beer spilt on them, wine spilt on them and they were covered in scuff marks after various people had taken it upon themselves to stand on Little Stalky.  The hazards of going to overcrowded pubs full of drunken people.  Perhaps that's why it was a rare night out.  Anyway, my shoes aren't expensive but they're special to me and I was distraught that they were all marked up.  Mystical Roo, ever the optimist, assured me that there must be something out there that could fix the shoes.  I shouldn't give up.  I shouldn't sulk.  I shouldn't try to persuade him that the buying of new red shoes was the answer.  So where did we look?  Well, Woolworths of course.  We're very loyal you know.  And we'd hoped (and did) to catch sight of trolley dude.  We picked up a stain removal pack that caters to various different stains because, as the slogan said, not every stain is the same.  I had three little bottles of spray.  One for food and drink stains, one for gum and glue stains and one for ink stains.  They covered a lot more than that but that's what I remember.  I was dubious I must admit but I thought I'd give it a go.  For the shoes.  So I followed the instructions, sprayed the stain on my shoe, agitated the stain (I shouted abuse at it) and then dabbed with a cloth.  I swear to God that the stains disappeared before my eyes.  They vanished.  Like magic.  It was amazing.  I then started to worry that the stain removal spray would mark the shoe but to my relief it dried and my shoes were left looking as good as new.  Result!  I then decided I'd try it on other shoes.  I have a spectacular pair of zebra print shoes that I haven't worn in ages because they were marked and scuffed.  I simply couldn't bring myself to throw them away.  These took a little more work as the marks were years old but the stain removal did its thing and the shoes were back to their best.  Incredible!  I did Mystical Roo's shoes too just for good measure.  I'm pretty sure this stain removal spray was made by fairies and infused with magic.  It's the only explanation for such cleaning power.  I'll have to find out what the stain removal spray is called (I've forgotten) and who makes it (I've forgotten) and spread the word.  This stuff rocks!
