What You'll Need
- White cloth rag
- Rubbing alcohol
- Water
- Small bowl
Step-By-Step Guide
- Using the white cloth rag, gently rub shoe polish stain to break up wax.
- Create a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water, using one part rubbing alcohol and two parts water.
- Put a small amount of the rubbing alcohol mixture onto the silk faille fabric. Gently rub the mixture into the stain.
- Rinse the fabric with a damp rag and cool water.
- Repeat this process until the shoe polish stain is gone.
If the stain persists, try using a mixture of equal parts liquid laundry detergent and white vinegar. Apply directly to the stain and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Rinse the fabric with cold water.
