Step 1: Gather Your cleaning Supplies

For this step, you will need paper towels, dishwashing liquid, an old toothbrush, hydrogen peroxide, and white vinegar.

Step 2: Blot Up the Stain

Using a paper towel, gently dab area of stain until it is mostly gone. Try not to rub it in, as doing so can penetrate the fibers and create a larger stain. Be sure to use a new paper towel each time so that you don’t spread the stain to other parts of shoe.

Step 3: Make a Cleaning Solution

Mix together some dishwashing liquid, hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar to create a cleaning solution. Dip the old toothbrush into solution and then gently scrub stain.

Step 4: Rinse Shoe

Using paper towels and cold water, rinse the shoe until the cleaning solution has been removed.

Step 5: Let the Shoe Air Dry

Place the shoe someplace where it can air dry. Do not attempt to use a hairdryer, as this could damage your shoe.

Conclusion

Cleaning pet stains from your ballet flats can be a daunting task. By following the steps outlined above, however, you can easily make job much simpler. And, with a bit of luck, stain will be completely gone.
