Things You'll Need

Soft cloth
Mild soap
Leather cleaner or polish

Instructions

Blot the surface of the mule with a soft cloth to remove extra oil and grease.
Mix a small amount of mild hand soap and water in a bowl, creating a foamy mixture.
Dip a corner of cloth into the mild soapy solution and dab it on the stain, gently working it into the fabric.
Allow the solution to soak into the mules for 10 minutes.
Rinse the mules with a damp cloth to remove the soapy solution. Rinse until all soap is removed.
Once the mules are dry, apply a leather cleaner or polish to protect the material.

Tips

Always test any cleaning solution on an area of mules that is not visible before using.
Be sure to use a gentle touch and avoid rubbing the mules too aggressively.
If necessary, you can use a leather conditioner to maintain the look and feel of the material.
If the stain does not come out during the first attempt, repeat the process as needed.

Warnings

Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning the mules.
Do not put the mules in the washing machine or dryer.
