Mastering the Art of Removing Shoe Polish Stains from an Umbrella

You can save yourself a lot of time and money by learning how to clean the shoe polish stains off your umbrella instead of replacing it. Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to remove any shoe polish stains.

Materials Needed

• A soft cloth or sponge
• Laundry detergent
• Rubbing alcohol or white vinegar
• A brush or toothbrush

Instructions:

1. Start by gently blotting the stain with a damp cloth or sponge until you can no longer get any of the stain off.
2. Add a few drops of laundry detergent to the stain and rub it in with your fingers or with a brush or toothbrush.
3. Rinse the laundry detergent off with warm water.
