1. Use a Dry Clean Cloth
Before cleaning your shoes, use a dry cloth to remove any excess gravy that may still be on surface of the shoes. Make sure that you are gentle when doing this so that you do not damage the material of the shoe.
2. Apply a Stain Remover
Once you have done that, add a small amount of stain remover specifically made for fabric onto affected area. If you are unsure what type of stain remover to use, it is best to check with your local shoe store for advice.
3. Rinse the Area
Once you have applied stain remover, rinse the area with warm water. Make sure that you rinse away all of the product that you have used and that the area is completely free of the residue.
4. Blot the Area
When rinsing area is complete, blot the area with a clean cloth and let air-dry. Do not rub the area, as this can spread the stain. Instead, blot it gently until the moisture has been absorbed.
5. Apply an Odor Remover
If there is still a lingering odor due to the gravy stain, a good odor remover can help to eliminate this. Spray it evenly on affected area and allow it to soak before wiping away with a dry cloth.
6. Use a Waterproof Protector
Once all of the cleaning steps are complete, you can also use a waterproof protector to keep your Vans shoes looking brand new. This will help to prevent future stains and keep your shoes looking good for a long time!
