Start by turning your shoes inside-out, and then wipe off any excess dirt or debris on the surface. Once you’ve done this, use a damp cloth to remove any remaining dirt. Now that your shoes are clean, it’s time to tackle the stains.
METHOD 1: BAKING SODA
Mix two tablespoons of baking soda with one tablespoon of water, and mix together until it forms a paste. Apply the paste to stained area and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wipe the excess paste away with a damp cloth. The baking soda will help lift the stain.
METHOD 2: WHITE VINEGAR
Take a cup of white vinegar and dilute it with water. Soak a cloth in the mixture and apply it to the stained area. Let it sit for an hour and then rinse it off with clean water. The acidity of the vinegar will help break down the stain.
METHOD 3: SHAVING CREAM
Shaving cream is another effective way to remove wildflower stains from pumps. Apply a generous amount of shaving cream on the stained area and leave it to sit for 10-15 minutes. Wipe shaving cream away with a damp cloth and repeat until the stain has been removed.
METHOD 4: DETERGENT
Mix some detergent with warm water and soak a cloth in solution. Apply the cloth to the affected area and rub gently. Rinse off the residue with clean water and you should be left with clean pumps.
Follow these simple steps and you will have your beloved pumps looking as good as new. Good luck!
