The footwear addict that I have become means that I am forever spending my precious shoe-wearing time battling with the removal of stickers on the soles. Even once I have finally managed to get rid of all the paper, there is still the sticky glue which collects fluff, dust and all manner of grossness from the carpet, creating an ever-so-attractive rectangular shaped fuzz coating on the bottom of my new favourite shoes.
So, to make my life easier and to save my soles, I turn to the kitchen cupboards and seek solace in a jar of peanut butter. No, before you ask, I don't mean comfort eating (that's another story)- I mean using peanut butter as a glue residue remover.
Any peanut butter will do: crunchy, smooth, Skippy, organic, full fat, low fat, Tesco, Kraft... take your pick (although I wouldn't recommend the specialised protein building as for some reason the consistency isn't quite up to par). Just smear the peanut over the desired area, leave for 2-3 minutes, then remove with kitchen roll or a dry cloth. Et voilà! Sticky-free soles.
Pass it on.
