If the stain is fresh, use a clean cloth or paper napkin to remove as much of the excess shoe polish off the midi dress as possible. Be sure not to press hard against the garment, as this can cause the stain to spread.
The next step is to apply a stain remover to the affected area. There are many different types of removers available in stores, so you'll need to choose one that's safe for the fabric of your midi dress. If you're not sure about the type of fabric, always check the care label before buying.
Once you've applied the stain remover, rinse the area with cold water. It's best to do this in a sink or tub so that you can continuously run water over the spot until the stain is gone. To be extra sure, you can also scrub area gently with a soft brush.
The final step is to wash the midi dress using a mild detergent and cold water. If the stain still hasn't completely disappeared, you might want to repeat steps 2 and 3 before washing it. Once the midi dress has been washed, it's ready to wear again!
