Before doing anything else, you should remove any excess moisture to prevent the stain from setting in further. Use a soft cloth to dab away as much moisture as you can. Avoid blotting, as this can push moisture deeper into the fabric.
Mix together warm water and mild detergent in a small bowl. You want enough to make a thin paste. If the stain is particularly stubborn, you can use a stain-removing product instead of the detergent.
Carefully apply the cleaning solution to the stained area using a soft cloth or a brush. Be sure to work it in gently with scrubbing motions. You don't want to rub too hard, as this could damage the fabric.
Once you have removed the stain, rinse the area with clean, warm water. Use a damp cloth to dab away any excess moisture. Do not wring out or twist fabric, as this could cause it to shrink or lose its shape.
Let your pumps air dry in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Do not put them in dryer, as this could set the stain and damage fabric.
Removing perspiration stains from pumps doesn't have to be a challenge! With these simple steps, you can tackle the problem quickly and easily. Just make sure to use the appropriate cleaning solution and let your pumps air dry afterward. And you'll be back to enjoying your favorite shoes in no time!
