Nobody likes dealing with stubborn stains, especially when it involves something you love such as a pair of beautiful ballet flats. Fortunately, with the proper cleaning techniques and supplies, you can easily remove gravy stains from ballet flats. Whether you’ve spilled some on yourself or some on your shoes, here are some tips for getting rid of those gravy stains.
To remove a fresh stain, first start by blotting stain with a dry cloth or paper towel to absorb as much of the moisture as possible. Next, if any residue remains, apply a small amount of mild laundry detergent to the spot and gently scrub area with a soft brush. Rinse the area by dabbing it with a clean, damp cloth. If the stain persists after these steps, then it’s time to move on to more powerful cleaning methods.
If the gravy stain is old and set in, then use a saturated solution of water and a strong detergent to pre-treat the area. For this solution, use an enzyme-based cleaner or a mixture of one part white vinegar to two parts water. Apply the solution to the stain and let it sit for several minutes before blotting it up with a damp cloth. As a final step, rinse the area with a damp cloth and allow it to air-dry.
