Cleaning Patent Leather

From Lucky Magazine, october 2007:

Accessories designer Melanie Dizon explains her impossibly simple technique.
  • You'll need: A couple of cotton pads and a bottle of standard-issue nail polish remover.
  • How it's done: Immediately after wear, just spot-clean surface stains by lightly rubbing with a cotton pad doused in nail polish remover. Air-dry for about five minutes, then store the item in a cool place. N.B.: Patent easily absorbs colors from other leather pieces, so wrap bags in tissue paper and keep shoes in their own box.
