When it comes to removing crayon stains from Skechers, the first step is identifying the type of fabric the shoe is made of. Most Skechers are made of synthetic materials such as nylon or canvas; however some fabrics may need extra care. If in doubt, refer to the shoe’s cleaning instructions or call the manufacturer for advice.
Removing Crayon from Synthetic Fabrics
Once you know the fabric type in which your Skechers are made of, you can begin the cleaning process:
- Mix ¼ teaspoon of liquid dish detergent with 1 cup of warm water in a bowl.
- Dip a white cloth into the mixture and wring it out so that the cloth is only slightly damp.
- Gently rub damp cloth into the stain in circular motions.
- Rinse the cloth with warm water and wring it out before repeating the process until the stain is removed.
- Allow the shoes to air dry.
Removing Crayon from Canvas
Canvas fabric requires gentler care when removing crayon stains. Follow these steps for best results:
- Mix together 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 cup of warm water in a bowl.
- Dip a soft-bristled toothbrush into mixture and gently brush the stained area.
- Rinse the toothbrush with warm water and dip it back into the vinegar mixture before repeating the process until the stain is gone.
- Allow the shoes to air dry.
Additional Tips
- For tougher stains, add baking soda to the cleaning mixture.
- If the crayon stain persists, try dabbing rubbing alcohol onto affected area.
- Test any spot cleaners or cleaning products on an inconspicuous part of the shoe prior to use.
