Step 1: Gather Supplies to Clean Varnish Stains
Before you start cleaning the varnish stains, make sure you have following supplies on hand:
- Soft cloth
- Mild detergent
- Warm water
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
Step 2: Pre-Treat the Varnish Stains
If you're dealing with an especially tough varnish stain, you may want to pre-treat it before moving on to Step 3. To do this, mix one tablespoon of white vinegar and one teaspoon of mild detergent into one cup of warm water. Dip a soft cloth into mixture, then dab the cloth onto the stained area.
Step 3: Scrub Stain with Baking Soda
After you've pre-treated stained areas, it's time to start scrubbing. Make a paste of baking soda and warm water, then apply the paste directly to the stained areas. Use a soft cloth to gently scrub the paste into the fabric in small circular motions. The baking soda will help lift the varnish and other stains from fabric.
Step 4: Rinse the Fabric with Water
Once you've scrubbed the stained areas with the baking soda paste, rinse the fabric with clean, warm water. This helps to remove any remaining residue from baking soda and pre-treating solutions.
Step 5: Let Dry Before Wearing
To finish, allow mules to air dry completely before wearing. This will help ensure that the fabric stays clean and that the varnish stain has been removed completely. You may want to use a fan to speed up the drying process.
Conclusion
With these few simple steps, you can easily remove pesky varnish stains from your mules and keep them looking like new. Whether you're dealing with a light or stubborn stain, pre-treating, scrubbing, and rinsing your mules with right supplies should help to get rid of that varnish once and for all.
