Things You Need
- Paper towels
- Clean cloth
- Stain remover
- Dishwashing liquid
- Baking soda
Step 1: Blot the Stain
The first step in removing gravy stains from your Superga shoes is to blot stain with paper towels. This will help remove any excess food particles from shoe and will help keep the stain from spreading. Do not scrub the stain, as this may push the stain deeper into the fabric.
Step 2: Apply Stain Remover
Once the excess food has been removed, you can begin to treat the stain. Begin by spraying a commercial stain remover directly onto stain. Make sure to follow the instructions on bottle for best results.
Step 3: Wash the Shoes
Once the stain remover has had time to work its magic, you can begin washing shoes. Fill a basin with warm water and add a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Gently rub stained area with a clean cloth and the soapy water. Rinse the cloth and repeat the process until the stain has been removed.
Step 4: Neutralize Odor
If there is a bad odor coming from the shoes after treating them, you can neutralize it with baking soda. Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over the affected area and leave it to sit overnight. In the morning, vacuum up baking soda and your shoes should smell fresh again.
Step 5: Dry the Shoes
Once the stain has been removed and odor neutralized, allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Do not put them in the dryer as this could damage the shoes and cause the stain to set.
Conclusion
Removing gravy stains from Superga shoes doesn't have to be a stressful experience. With the right steps and materials, you can easily remove the stains and make sure your shoes look good as new.
