The best way to remove grease and oil stains from clogs is by using a laundry detergent designed for tough stains like grease. To start, create a solution by mixing one tablespoon of detergent with two cups of warm water. Let the clogs soak in the solution for 10-15 minutes.
Once the clogs have been soaked, scrub them with an old toothbrush and rinse them off with cold water. If the stains are still present, try using a stronger cleaning solution such as white vinegar or baking soda. Make sure to scrub the area thoroughly and rinse it off before wearing the clogs.
If laundry detergent doesn’t work, there are other options available. Depending on the material of the clogs, you may also be able to use a damp cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol or shaving cream to remove the stains. If all else fails, you can use a commercial cleaner such as Goo Gone, WD-40, or Citrus-Stripper.
Once the stains have been removed, there are several things you can do to prevent them from coming back. It’s always a good idea to use a shoe protector, such as a spray-on waterproofer or wax-based protectant, to help protect the shoes from spills and accidents. Additionally, you should avoid walking in areas where there may be grease or oil, such as driveways and parking lots.
