# Removing Scuff Marks From Leather Heels With Toothpaste
Leather is renowned for its glossy shine and sturdy construction. A pair of black leather heels can add flair to any outfit, whether it's for a business occasion or a casual night out with friends. Regular use increases the chance of scuffing and scratching, and no one likes to walk around in a pair of ragged heels. Instead of replacing your pair after the first scuff mark, buff it out with a small bead of toothpaste and a wool buffing pad.
Things You'll Need
- Microfiber cloths
- Non-gel toothpaste

Wipe away any dirt or debris from the leather heel with a damp microfiber cloth. The area should be free from all dirt prior to buffing.

Apply a bead of non-gel toothpaste to your fingertip and spread it over the scuffed area. Once you finish, the entire scuff should be covered with a generous amount of toothpaste.

Buff the area using the wool pad. Use firm pressure and a rapid, circular motion. Wipe away the toothpaste with a cloth to check your progress. If scuffing remains, reapply toothpaste and repeat buffing.
