I recently started a job bar tending weddings at a hall, and brought home a dozen flute wine glasses that were not taken home by guests. They are not engraved, but have the bride and grooms names and wedding date printed on them. How do I safely and effectively remove the writing so that I can enjoy them myself, in my home?
Family Dollar sells a two in a pack sponge white on one side/blue on the other and it specifically removes scuff marks off vinyl flooring. I'll bet it would work on your patent leather shoes and there's no harsh rubbing and the sponge's white side is what you would use. I bought it for the foyer in our church and liked it so well that I keep these sponges in my home too. It doesn't look like it would work, but it's great saving on elbow grease.
What I used once, was Oven Cleaner, the old kind in a jar. It took the printing off slick. Also removed some kind of stickie paper from an Antique Glass door and it worked wonderfully. After a warm water rince, I used Vinegar last. Good luck.
