The £1 suede shoe cleaning hack you need to know about

There’s nothing more frustrating than throwing out your favourite pair of shoes just because you can’t quite tackle the muddy stain from winter ‘09.

But all is not lost, as a now-viral cleaning hack is here to save you some dosh.

In the tweet, O’Hagan shared before and after photographs of her go-to heels alongside the caption: “Micellar water has just taken all the stains out of my suede heels. Everyone needs to try this.”

O’Hagen recommends wiping the stain with a cotton pad, as it won’t be too aggressive on delicate suede.
