Restoration Time.... Smelly Bratz Shoes....

     Hello doll lovers!! I am cleaning up a bratz lot that was bought off of ebay. The reason I did not share it on here is because I was mad about it at first. What that means is I bought this lot for $33 I wanted shoes and clothes for the dolls I have bought at thrift stores this lot did come with some dolls but I really didn't need dolls. When it came there was mostly boy doll clothes which is fine but I have more girl dolls than boys that need clothing.... It also came with a few girl shoes but a lot more boys shoes. So I was disappointed but the worst part is everything... smelled.... like.... cat... PEE...... I was so mad that is just really bad salesmanship. If you know something is smelly let people know in the listing... Cat pee is the worst I think worse than cigarette smoke... Change my mind.... Anyways, (sigh) I had to wash the shoes and clothes immediately. I put the dolls in a bag with a dryer sheet till I can get to them, I have a ton of other dolls to clean first. So here is how I cleaned these smelly shoes.
First off I put the shoes in a wash tub with oxyclean (I use the hottest tap water to dissolve the oxyclean, then I add cool water). I let the shoes  set for 24 hours in the oxyclean. 
Then I used dish soap and a toothbrush to wash them, after that I used some baking soda and scrubbed them again to make sure they had a pleasant smell. 
After I rinsed them with cold water I set them up on a towel so the water could drain out of the peg holes so they won't get moldy in storage. I let them dry for most of the day then they were put in two bags of boy and girl shoes so when I need them I just have to grab the bags.
