How to Clean Bronzed Baby Shoes That Have Turned Green
- 1). Wash the bronzed baby shoes in mild soap and warm water. This removes loose dirt and prepares the shoes for polishing. Scrub with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and buff dry.
- 2). Mix an equal amount of denatured alcohol and distilled water with precipitated chalk to form a paste. Polish lightly, taking care not to scrub too vigorously and removing more bronze than necessary.
- 3). Rinse thoroughly in warm water and dry completely. Leaving a residue on the shoes or leaving the crevices wet encourage further corrosion and damage.
- 4). Wash the bronzed shoes in boiling distilled water repeatedly for up to one week if green spots remain on the surface. Consult a professional for cleaning or recommendations if spots remain after this treatment.
