Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

Gather up the materials you need before you start:

An old toothbrush
Mild liquid detergent
A clean, dry cloth

Step 2: Mix the Detergent and Water

In a small bowl or cup, mix a teaspoon of liquid detergent with a cup of warm water. You want enough that the detergent dissolves completely.

Step 3: Scrub the Stained Area

Using your old toothbrush, gently scrub the stained area. You don't want to damage the material of your shoe, so be sure to be gentle in your scrubbing.

Step 4: Rinse with Water

Once you've finished scrubbing, rinse the affected area with a clean cloth and some cold water. The cold water helps to remove any residue from the detergent.

Step 5: Let Dry Naturally

Allow the affected area to dry naturally. Avoid using a hair dryer, as this can damage the material of your shoe.

Step 6: Enjoy Your Clean Shoes

Your Supergas should now be free of hairspray stains! Enjoy wearing your shoes again.
