If you are dealing with mayonnaise stains on your sneakers, the best thing you can do is act fast. As with any stain, longer it sits there, the harder it will be to remove it.

Steps for Cleaning Mayonnaise from Your Sneakers

  1. Begin by gently scraping off any excess mayonnaise with a spoon or butter knife. Be careful not to press too hard or you could push the stain further into the fabric.
  2. Apply a small amount of liquid laundry detergent onto the mayonnaise stain and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This will help break down oils in the mayonnaise.
  3. Dampen a clean cloth with lukewarm water and use it to blot at the stain. Do not rub as this can cause the stain to spread.
  4. Once you've blotted as much of stain as possible, rinse area with cold water. This will help remove any residual detergent.
  5. Allow the sneakers to air dry completely before wearing or storing. Do not put them in washing machine or dryer as this could set the stain.

If the stain is still visible after these steps, you can try applying a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice directly to the stain. Let it sit for several minutes before blotting with a damp cloth and rinsing with cold water.

These simple steps should help you get rid of mayonnaise stains from your sneakers quickly and easily.
