Removing Fresh Berries Stains

The first step to remove a berry stain from your Supergas is to scrape off any excess fruit as soon as possible. Use a butter knife or spoon to scoop off berry residue. Once this is done, use a damp cloth to wipe away any remaining bits of berry.

Once the excess berry has been removed, create a solution of liquid laundry detergent and warm water. Using a soft cloth, sponge the mixture onto the stained area and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. Then, launder the shoes using cold water, followed by a tumble dry on low heat.

Removing Dried Berries Stains

If the berry stain has already had time to set in, it might take a bit more effort to remove it. Begin by preparing a paste-like mixture of baking soda and water. Rub the mixture into the affected areas and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. Once you've waited for the allotted time, use a damp cloth to scrub away paste. If necessary, repeat this process a couple of times until the stain is gone.

Treating Odors

In addition to removing the stains, you might also need to tackle lingering odors from the berries. To do this, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda onto the affected area. Let it sit for several hours before vacuuming it up. Repeat this process if necessary until the odor is removed.

Conclusion

Berries can be a great snack, but they can also leave a stubborn mess. Fortunately, with the right tools and techniques, it's possible to remove those pesky berry stains from your Superga shoes. Just remember to act quickly by scraping off any excess berry residue, follow that up with a strong cleaning agent and finish it off with a good dose of baking soda. With these tips, your shoes should look as good as new in no time.
