Fabric ballet slippers perforating themselves quickly, just surround the end of the slipper with adhesive plaster to prolong their lifespan.

If you wish to wash your ballet slippers, make soak them a few moments in hot water and liquid detergent. Now just rub them gently, to rinse them and make them dry outside. To avoid the contracting of the slipper, put sopalin in the end of this one. Not so hard, is it ?? ;-)

Pointes Shoes

To keep your pointe shoes a little longer, you can reinforce the platform using a liquid layer of adhesive or transparent nail varnish.
That can make you slip, then do not forget rosin !

If your pointe shoes are too soft, you can use special varnish.
Just have to put it inside the shoes
But take care with heat because the varnish is likely to melt !

To avoid damaging the most fragile part of the slippers of points, i.e. the platform, you can cover it dice the beginning with adhesive plaster.
If satin is torn, you can restick it with liquid adhesive.
Just make your choice !

For those who want to clean their pointes, one needs just a humidified rag with which you gently rub the dirty parts.
On the other hand, never to put them in contact with water.
They would not go back from water !!!

There is an other solution which consists in covering the stain with make-up foundation with a similar color.
Think about it before you go on stage !!
