High heeled footwear is becoming increasingly popular. Ladies usually prefer high heels to match their attire for formal work meetings or weddings. But, just like other footwear, high heels must be cleaned on a regular basis to avoid lasting staining and damages to the shoes. Depending on the type of fabric, the following tips will help you clean your heels the next time you need to wear them!

After the vinegar has dried and left behind marks, let the heel dry completely before using a brush to remove them. Additionally, rubbing alcohol used with a paper towel aids in reviving the appearance of suede heels.
- Use a dry tissue to wipe away dirt off satin shoes. Additionally, dab stains with a damp towel in a downward motion, following the fabric's texture. Additionally, if the stains are still difficult to remove, add some soapy water to the damp towel and dab once more. When the washing is finished, blot the satin fabric with a dry towel to remove any remaining humidity and water.

Scrub the shoes with a clean sponge dipped in the mix of water. Once the cleaning is finished, remove any remaining dirt with a clean cloth dampened with water. To ensure a thorough drying process, place some tissue inside the shoes and keep them upright in bright light.
- Make portable packs that are useful when needed to eliminate unpleasant odour from the shoes. Put some coffee in a packet with some ground coffee. To get rid of their unpleasant smell, heels can be treated with this packet.
