Step 1: Blot the Stain with a Damp Cloth

Quickly soak up the excess sauce with a damp cloth. This will help to prevent the stain from soaking further into the fabric of the shoe.

Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stain with Detergent

Rub a small amount of laundry detergent directly onto the stain and let it sit for a couple of minutes. This should help to loosen and break down the stain before you start to scrub.

Step 3: Scrub the Stain with a Soft Brush

Gently scrub stain with a soft toothbrush or nail brush. Rub in small circles to agitate the stain until it comes out. Do not use an abrasive brush or hard-bristled brush as this could damage the fabric of the shoe.

Step 4: Rinse the Stain with Water

Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area with cold water to remove any remaining detergent or debris. Allow the shoes to dry completely before wearing them again.
