Wedding Shoe & Teabag disaster

Delsar

Does anyone know how I can clean the shoes I just bought for my wedding? I've just dropped a wet teabag on one of them while I was breaking them in! The link shows the shoes I literally just took delivery of and there is now a huge brown stain on one of them. Any help greatly appreciated.... http://www.johnlewis.com/308544/Product.aspx?vg=0766435e-03d4-4519-38e0-d04e2832df0a&rm=t

drop a teabag on the other one to get a stylish pair. then tell everyone that brown is the new white.

Leave them out to air as much as you can. By that, I mean don't keep them in the cupboard. Put them beside your bed.

If the weather's good (!!), then you can put them outside the back door or something. Keep an eye on them though!!

Be careful of putting them outside in direct sunlight - I was drying a pair of white canvas runners outside & they turned yellow in a couple of hours. The smell will evaporate away if you leave them inside for a couple of day.
