Step 1: Blot Where Possible
First of all, use a cloth or paper towel to blot the excess gravy off of shoes. This should help to remove as much of the stain as possible. Then, take a brush with stiff bristles like a toothbrush and scrub the fabric gently in order to remove any remaining grease.
Step 2: Wash Gently with Soap
Mix some liquid dish soap with warm water and use a soft cloth to dab the mixture onto the affected area. Rub cloth together with stained area until it starts to form a lather. Don't rub too hard – you don’t want to damage the fabric. Rinse the area with cold water.
Step 3: Treat with Vinegar
Wash affected area gently with white vinegar mixed with warm water and a soft cloth. rinse again with cold water and let area air dry. The vinegar should help to remove any remaining grease.
Step 4: Consider a Professional Clean
If stain persists after following the above steps, then it may be time to consider taking the shoes to a professional cleaner or cobbler for a deep clean. This is a great option if you want to be sure the stain is completely gone before you wear the shoes again.
Conclusion
We hope that this article has helped you remove any pesky gravy stains from your Converse shoes. With help of the steps outlined above, you should have no problem getting those shoes looking as good as new!
