Cleaning Sole
I just bought a couple pair of shoes at the thrift shop, suede brogues and some loafers for about 15 of your squid; the problem is they wrote these number codes on the soles in green marker. I know nobody is exactly going to see it unless I sit with one leg resting on the other's knee, but I want them off anyway. I mean, I'm not some sort of Persian rug so I don't need to be going around with deliberate flaws if I can avoid it.
First I tried licking my thumb and rubbing (it worked on my face when I was a little boy so why not?) and then nail polish remover. Neither worked, maybe because the nail polish remover was non-acetone (acetone dries your nails), so what do you suggest?
P.S. Sorry I couldn't come up with a decent pun for sole

Remember those bowling shoes? I got an 'ink mark' off of those with nail varnish remover, but it does have to be with acetate.
I have no idea at all what you're talking about :rollineyes:

Re: Cleaning Sole
Have you tried hairspray? It might work.
