If you find yourself with tree sap on your ballet flats, here’s what to do:
- If tree sap is still wet and gooey, gently scrape off as much as possible with a butter knife. Be careful not to press too hard or you may risk scratching the fabric of your shoes.
- Grab a few cotton swabs or a soft cloth and dip it in rubbing alcohol. Rub the sap stain gently until it comes off. Continue this process until the stain is completely gone.
- Once you’ve removed sap, use a little bit of saddle soap to spot treat any areas where the sap had been. Leave it on for several minutes before wiping off with a clean cloth.
- Finish off by cleaning the entire shoe with a little bit of saddle soap. Make sure to cover every area so there are no missed spots.
- When everything is dry, you are ready to rock your cleanly-restored ballet flats!
With just a few simple steps, you can successfully remove tree sap stains from your ballet flats and get them looking like new again.
