It's easy to clean marker stains from your loafers using household items like white vinegar, a toothbrush, and rubbing alcohol. Here's what to do:
- Dab stained area with cold water or white vinegar to loosen the stain.
- Mix a tablespoon of baking soda and a small amount of water into a paste.
- Using a soft-bristled toothbrush, scrub the paste over the stained area.
- Once the stain is gone, wipe the shoe with a damp cloth.
- If stain persists, apply rubbing alcohol directly to it and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Using a cloth, scrub stain until it lifts. If necessary, rinse the cloth with water and keep scrubbing.
- Let the shoes air dry before wearing them again.
By following these steps, you should have a stain-free pair of loafers.
