Rubbing alcohol (which is the main ingredient in hairspray) may work, but on that material you might be out of luck.

That is what a middle schooler would do!!!
(No offense if you are)

googly7's avatar

that is what someone told me to do

Here’s an idea; get some nikes from the 21st century and wear those instead, you glow-in-the-dark-shoe-wearing thing!

Tink's avatar

Did the hairspray do anything to it?

googly7's avatar

it faded it

Fred931's avatar

like melt it into a dissentigrated mess?

Tink's avatar

@googly7 – The stain?

Fred931's avatar

just make your dumb sibling pay for a new pair of shoes! unless, of course, he is only 4 years old, in which case, tell your parents, and they’ll get you a new pair.

googly7's avatar

he is 4 haha

Fred931's avatar

whoa… that’s weird

Tink's avatar

Is it grayish now?

googly7's avatar

very very pale blue;;hard to see it

Tink's avatar

Oh, how does a shoe glow in the dark?
Going back to your question: Did you try washing it off with soap?

Fred931's avatar

or, as a penny-pinching alternative, white it all out with hairspray, and then make your little brother recolor itwith a blue Sharpie… actually, thats a bad idea, then he’ll color the rest of the house blue…

googly7's avatar

yea:and the shoes material glows in the dark;it is a very nice shoe actually; it needs daylight for it to glow

Fred931's avatar

and then your mom will get mad at you for giving him a permanent marker and letting him be unsupervised

googly7's avatar

thats a terrific idea

Fred931's avatar

NOOOOO I WAS ONLY KIDDING!!!
unless you really are that cheap

googly7's avatar

i was being sarcastic

Tink's avatar

So you did wash it out? The only glow in the dark thing I’ve seen other than stars or nightlights is my bellybutton ring. And it’s still wierd

Fred931's avatar

k good. Off to the shoestore you go!

googly7's avatar

oh google the shoe in images

Fred931's avatar

Erm, what was that, tink?

googly7's avatar

Fred931's avatar

My gosh thats a horrible looking shoe!

Fred931's avatar

Fred931's avatar

@tink i looked at the images by googling the shoe he described and i think it looks hideous I’m gonna have nightmares. Ugh.
