Hi all,
Can anyone give me any advice on how to clean a pair of pink timberlands?
Got a pair off the carboot this morning!
They are not too grubby but seem to have some watermark stains.
TIA

    Are they nubuck? You could try one of those nubuck/suede cleaning blocks (like an eraser). They work on my pale beige Timberlands.

    Thanks RZL,
    I think they are Nubuck.
    Do you know where to get these suede cleaning blocks and would they remove the watermarks?
    thanks

    You can get the cleaning blocks from most shoeshops and shoe repair places. They're likee a rough-textured rubber, and they come in a little box. Not quite sure whether they'd tackle the watermarks, but surely worth a try :)
