What You'll Need
- Dish soap
- Stain remover or bleach (optional)
- White vinegar
- Bucket of warm water
- Soft cloth
Pre-Treating Stain
The first step is to pre-treat stain to remove as much of shoe polish as possible. In a small bowl, mix together one teaspoon of dish soap and one tablespoon of white vinegar. Work the mixture into stain using a soft cloth. Let the pre-treatment sit for about 10 minutes before washing.
Washing with Bleach (optional)
If the stain persists after pre-treatment, you may want to try washing the voile fabric in a solution of one part bleach and two parts warm water. Allow the voile to soak for 30 minutes before rinsing it with cold water. If the area is still stained, use a stain remover product such as Vanish or Oxyclean.
Final Step
Once the stain is removed, launder voile fabric according to the manufacturer’s directions. To keep the voile fabric looking its best, hang it to air dry instead of using a dryer.
