What You’ll Need
- A paint brush
- An old cloth
- A mild detergent
- White vinegar or rubbing alcohol
Step 1: Pre-Treat
Before you start cleaning the stain, you need to pre-treat it. The best way to do this is to use a paintbrush to fluff up the fabric around the stain. This will loosen the shoe polish residue and make it easier to remove.
Step 2: Scrub It Out
Next, it's time to actually remove the stain. Start by dampening a cloth with a mixture of mild detergent and warm water and scrub the affected area. If the stain persists, you can try using a cloth dipped in white vinegar or rubbing alcohol. Make sure to always scrub in the direction of the fabric's natural nap.
Step 3: Rinse and Dry
Once you've successfully removed the stain, it's important to rinse anorak thoroughly with clean water. Then, dry fabric by either hanging it or laying it flat. Do not tumble dry as this may cause the fabric to shrink.
Now you know exactly how to get rid of shoe polish stains on anorak. With these easy steps, you'll have your clothing looking like new in no time!
