Grease and oil stains on flip flops can be hard to remove, but the right preparation and cleaning process make it a straightforward task. The first step is to identify what type of material the flip flops are made of, as this will determine which cleaning methods or products to use. Before starting the cleaning process, it is important to test the cleaning solution on a small, hidden area of the flip flops to make sure that no discoloration or damage will occur.
Instructions
- Mix a solution of mild detergent and warm water.
- Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the solution and then rub it directly onto the greasy area. Rub gently but firmly until stain has been removed.
- Rinse the area with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Additional Tips
- For tougher stains, you may need to use a more powerful cleaner such as rubbing alcohol or a degreaser.
- If the flip flops are made of a synthetic material, try using a small amount of white vinegar or laundry detergent instead of a commercial cleaner.
- To help prevent future stains, apply a waterproofing spray or treatment to flip flops before wearing them.
