You’ve taken your party shoes out for the New Year’s celebration and notice they are scuffed! Here’s a fix: dab some Vaseline on a Q-tip then rub on the marks. Wipe off with a damp cloth. The Vaseline contains mineral oil which is the main ingredient in patent leather shoe polish so it will rub out scuffs and your shoes will look like new. This works on purses and any other patent leather items too.
