Step 1: Blot the Stain
Grab a paper towel or cloth and gently blot the area surrounding the stain. Avoid rubbing the stain as this may spread it further.
Step 2: Apply Salt
Sprinkle a generous layer of salt onto stain (or mix the salt with water to create a paste-like mixture). The salt should absorb any additional liquid, lifting the red wine stain from your Oxfords.
Step 3: Wipe Away the Salt
Once the stain has been removed by the salt, use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe away any remaining salt.
Step 4: Use Detergent
Mix a few drops of a mild detergent with lukewarm water and apply to the area that was stained. Allow soap/water mixture to sit for a few minutes before blotting it away with a cloth.
Step 5: Dry and Buff
Let your Oxfords air dry completely before buffing them with a soft cloth. This will help the leather soften and restore shoes' original shine.
