If you need to remove shoe polish stains from a kimono, here's how to do it:
- Gently scrape off any excess shoe polish by using a dull knife or spatula. Be careful not to damage the fabric. Use a gentle scraping motion and try not to press too hard on the fabric.
- Dab the stained area with a mixture of water and mild detergent. This will help to loosen the shoe polish so that you can remove it more easily.
- Rinse the area gently with cold water. This will help to remove any remaining residue from the shoe polish.
