First, take a clean white cloth and start blotting the stain gently, applying pressure to absorb as much of the gravy as possible. Try not to rub or scrub stain as it can further spread the stain and damage the fabric of your shoes.
Once you’ve absorbed as much of the stain as you can with cloth, create a cleaning solution of 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts water and apply it to the stain using a sponge or soft cloth. Scrub lightly and then let your shoes air-dry before attempting another round of stain removal.
If the stain is still present after letting your shoes air-dry, try laundering them on a gentle cycle in cold water. Use a mild detergent and make sure to check the labels on your shoes to find the right temperature setting for laundering.
Finally, apply shoe polish to your Onitsuka Tigers to restore their look. Make sure to use a polish that’s designed specifically for your type of fabric and color.
Hopefully, your Onitsuka Tiger shoes will be rid of all those pesky gravy stains after going through these steps. Just remember to always blot the stain first, and follow the instructions on the label for laundering and polishing your shoes for the best results.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
