Removing Fresh Shoe Polish Stains
When a shoe polish stain is fresh, it is best to act quickly. As soon as you notice the stain, dab it away with a soft cloth or paper towel with some cool water. Blot the area until the fabric stops releasing color. Avoid rubbing the stained area, as this could cause the stain to spread further.
Treating Set-In Shoe Polish Stains
For set-in shoe polish stains, you will need to use a solution to help break down the stain. You can make your own using 1 teaspoon of mild liquid detergent, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and 2 cups of warm water. Dip a clean cloth into solution and dab the affected area until the stain has been removed. Make sure to test this solution on an inconspicuous area of fabric first, to ensure it won’t damage material.
Removing Wax Build-Up from Uniqlo Shoe Polish Stains
If the shoe polish contains wax, such as from a waterproofing product, you will need to treat stain differently. Start by placing a paper towel on top of the fabric and run a hot iron over it. This should transfer the wax from the fabric onto the paper towel. If any wax residue remains on the fabric, apply a stain remover and then launder the item as usual.
