Gently dab the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb any excess shoe polish. Do not rub or scrub, as this could damage the fabric.
In a bowl, mix together one teaspoon of mild laundry detergent and one tablespoon of white vinegar with one cup of warm water. Do not use bleach on Habutai, as it could cause discoloration.
Soak a clean cloth in the cleaning solution and squeeze out any excess liquid. Carefully blot the stained area.
Allow the fabric to air dry. Never put Habutai in a clothes dryer.
If the stain remains, repeat the process until it has been completely removed.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
