Make your kids shoes look like (almost) new again.

Back to school.  New clothes, new shoes.  Well, maybe.
The old shoes still fit.  Or, sometimes, a cool older kid will hand you down a pair.
But they look kid of dingy...
Easy fix.

All you need is an old toothbrush and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

Obviously, what you can do depends on the shoe.  I have the best luck cleaning up Crocs and Sneakers.

All sneakers are different, but generally, leather, faux leather and canvas can all be cleaned well with an old toothbrush.  I use whatever cleanser is convenient - hand soap, dish soap, even toothpaste works.  Get the white rubber toes and edges clean with the Magic eraser.  It works wonderfully.  I still need to wash the shoe strings....

My daughter consistently picks light pink Crocks.  They get really dirty.
Scrub these down with a wet Magic Eraser.  I used the toothbrush and hand soap again here for the fleece lining, since you can't remove it to wash it.  Excellent results and EASY.

The favorite pairs get worn the most and look the worst the fastest.  Bring back the white.
