Let's face it — shoe polish stains on your wrap dress can be an eyesore (and a major hassle). But replacing a wardrobe staple isn't your only option. With some good old-fashioned elbow grease and a few simple items, you can get your trusty wrap dress clean fast.
What You'll Need To Clean A Wrap Dress
- White vinegar
- Dishwashing liquid
- Clothes brush
- Clean rags
Directions
- Start by gathering up all the materials you’ll need: white vinegar, liquid dishwashing soap, a clothes brush, and some clean rags.
- Take your wrap dress and turn it inside out before dipping it in white vinegar.
- Once the dress is soaked, remove it from the vinegar and rinse it with cold water. Be sure to rinse it thoroughly before moving on to the next step.
- Put a few drops of liquid dishwashing soap onto stain and work it into the fabric with your fingers or a clothes brush. Be sure to focus on the affected area.
- Rinse wrap dress again with cold water. It should now be free of shoe polish stains!
- Allow the dress to air dry and enjoy wearing it once again.
Tips To Keep In Mind
- Don't use hot water, as this could set the stains and make them harder to remove.
- If the stain stubbornly remains after cleaning, try using a commercial stain remover.
- Always check the instructions on the label of the clothing before attempting any cleaning methods.
