What You'll Need
- Mild detergent, such as shampoo or dish soap
- Clean white cloths
- Water
Step One: Pre-Treat Stain
Begin by wetting the stain with a few drops of cold water. If necessary, mix a few drops of mild detergent into the water. Apply the solution to the stain and gently rub it in using a clean cloth. Let solution sit for a few minutes.
Step Two: Wipe Away the Stain
Once the pre-treat solution has had a chance to work, use a dry cloth to wipe away the excess water and dirt. Gently rub the area until the stain is gone, then blot the area with a damp cloth.
Step Three: Rinse and Dry
Once the shoe polish stain is gone, rinse area with cold water and then blot dry with a clean cloth. Hang the shift dress up to air dry. Avoid putting the dress in the dryer—the heat could set the stain.
Conclusion
And that's all there is to it! With these three steps, you'll have your shift dress looking good as new. Be sure to take special care when removing stains from delicate fabrics, as you don't want to damage the fabric in the process.
