Shoe polish is often made of wax and oil, which can be difficult to get out of clothes. But, even if the shoe polish has dried and set in, it's not impossible. Here are some methods you can use to get rid of those pesky shoe polish stains:
Method 1: Use Cornstarch
Cornstarch is a great way to draw out the shoe polish oils from the fabric. Sprinkle cornstarch over the stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, brush off the powder or vacuum it up. If you still see stain, try using a damp cloth to dab at fabric.
Method 2: Use Dish Soap
Another way to get shoe polish out of silk gazar is to use dish soap. First, wet the area of the stain with warm water and then apply a few drops of dish soap directly to the stain. Gently rub the soap into the fabric and then rinse it with warm water. If the stain is still there, you can repeat this process until it's gone.
Method 3: Use White Vinegar
White vinegar can also be used to help to remove shoe polish stains from silk gazar. First, mix equal parts of white vinegar and water and soak the stained area for about 15 minutes. Then, rinse it with warm water and repeat, if necessary. Make sure not to rub too hard, as this could damage delicate fabric.
If all else fails, you can always take your garment to a professional dry cleaner. They have the expertise and tools to help remove even the toughest stains.
