What You Need

  • Laundry detergent
  • Hydrogen Peroxide
  • A toothbrush
  • Paper towel

Step 1: Pre-treat stain

Using a cloth or paper towel, dab the stain with a mixture of laundry detergent and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide will help to break down shoe polish, while the laundry detergent will help to lift the stain.

Step 2: Gently scrub the stain

Once you’ve pre-treated stain, use a toothbrush to gently scrub the area. Make sure you don’t scrub too hard as it may damage the fabric. Keep scrubbing for a few minutes until you can no longer see any trace of the shoe polish.

Step 3: Rinse & launder

Rinse the area with cold water to remove the cleaning solution and any remaining shoe polish residue. Once the item is rinsed, place it in the washer and use your normal laundry detergent to clean the hoodie. Air dry and check to make sure the shoe polish stain has been completely removed.

Conclusion

Removing shoe polish from clothing can be a challenge, but following these steps will help you get rid of those pesky shoe polish stains in no time!
