Things You'll Need:
- Dish soap
- White vinegar
- Cotton cloths or old rags
- Old toothbrush
- Leather cleaner
Steps to Remove Stain:
- Mix one tablespoon of dish soap in one cup of warm water and stir until it forms a sudsy solution.
- Dampen a cotton cloth or old rag in the solution and start gently rubbing the shoe polish stain in a circular motion.
- Once you’ve removed as much of the stain as possible, dampen a cotton cloth with white vinegar and rub it onto remaining stain. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Take an old toothbrush and scrub off remaining stain gingerly.
- If the stain still persists, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to the affected area and rub it in with a soft, dry cloth.
- Let the cleaner sit for a few minutes and then wipe away any residue with a damp cloth.
Tips:
- Always test the cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first to make sure there won’t be any damage to the material.
- When using white vinegar, make sure you don’t dilute it too much; otherwise, it won’t be effective in removing the stain.
- Be gentle when scrubbing the stained area; vigorous scrubbing can cause damage to the material.
- Don’t use any harsh chemicals that may cause discoloration.
