After a ton of research due to the constant emails from ladies asking me 'how to clean the white jeweled sandals?' I have found a product that works well. Depending on how dirty the shoes are will depend on how much elbow grease is needed.
With all the research, I did find it was definitely easier to wipe them over as you noticed dirty marks rather than leave it to build up. I tried all sorts of household products without success. I enlisted the help of my mum (the British spelling; since I am) to help me find a solution.
Off to the supermarket, we went to check out the cleaning products. Now the sandals as you can see from the pictures are dirty - not to leave my dad out of the investigations I had asked him to help me in the garden the week before and yep you guessed it I had my white sandals on - in a bid to get them as dirty as I could.
We had settled on a product called Bar Keeper Friend. I had never used this product before. When we got home, we mixed the powder into a paste with water and applied it with a sponge and scrubbed the sandals (or rather, I watched and took photos while my mum did the scrubbing).
Within a few minutes, we could see the shoes slowly coming back to a bright white. It did take quite a bit of elbow grease as they were really dirty, but it did finally do the trick.
I absolutely love these sandals. I would buy a new pair every year because I can walk for miles and my feet don’t hurt. Didn’t find them last year so I bought them on line this.
Bar Keepers friend is a staple at our house! Keeps pots and pans spotless and will is very gentle on most things that can be cleaned with water. So before long the can will be empty and you will need to buy more.
I use Bar Keepers Friend all the time, especially on my white beaded sandals. Never had that much success.
