Step 1: Use a Dry Eraser
For leather boots, start by lightly rubbing away any stained areas with a dry eraser. Move gently in one direction and test a small area first to make sure the surface doesn't get damaged. The eraser will pick up the residue from the insect repellent, leaving boots looking good as new.
Step 2: Use a Damp Cloth
If the eraser didn't work, or if the boots are made of a different material, try using a damp cloth instead. Dip it in warm soapy water and rub away the stain with gentle motions. Repeat until the surface looks clean, then let dry.
Step 3: Use Natural Solvents
If the stain still persists, you can apply some natural solvents such as baking soda, vinegar, or dishwashing detergent. Mix with a little bit of water to create a paste, then use a soft cloth to rub the paste into the stained area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off with warm water.
With these three simple steps, you can easily erase any insect repellent stains from your boots. In no time, they'll look like they just came out of the store!
