We all probably have at least one pair of espadrilles. You know, those wedged shoes with the braided rope heels and trim. Well, when that trim gets dirty, your shoes look old and worn. Clean them without any damage to the fragile rope, but first gently vacuuming off any loose dirt. Then spray lightly with a foam carpet spot remover. (Try Bissell Professional Power Shot Oxy Carpet Spot and Stain Remover). Wait 5 minutes then blot with an absorbent cloth. Repeat if there is stubborn grime working very gently with a baby toothbrush.
