Removable Insole Solution

If your clog has a removable insole, start by taking it out and brushing off any dirt. Then, soak insole in cold water for at least an hour. Once it's been soaked, you can move on to use a damp cloth and dish soap to spot clean affected area. Gently scrub the area with cloth until the stain is removed. Rinse it off and set aside so it can air dry.

Scrub Brush Method

If your clogs don't have removable insoles, grab a small scrub brush with soft, plastic bristles. Dip it into a mixture of dish soap and warm water and gently scrub the affected area until the lipstick stain is gone. Take care not to soak or saturate your shoes during this process. After the stain is gone, wipe down the area with a damp cloth and let your clogs air dry.

Gel Method

If you still have lipstick stains on your clogs, reach for a color-safe stain remover or a gentle laundry gel. Gently rub the gel onto the affected area and let it sit for several minutes. While still damp, scrub the area with a soft scrub brush and rinse it off with warm water. Wipe the area off with a damp cloth and let your shoes air dry.

Baking Soda & Water Solution

For really stubborn lipstick stains on your clogs, you can mix baking soda and warm water together and make a paste. Gently rub the paste onto the affected area and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Then, use a damp cloth to scrub the area until the lipstick stain is gone. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and let them air dry.

Conclusion

Lipstick stains can be a nuisance, but with a few simple steps, you can get your clogs looking clean again! Start by taking out the removable insole and soaking it in cold water. Then, you can try scrub brush method or a color-safe stain remover or gentle laundry gel. As a last resort, you can make a paste of baking soda and water and gently rub the affected area. No matter the method you choose, remember to wipe down the area with a damp cloth afterwards and let your shoes air dry.
