Cleaning Stains off of Your Shoes

    Blot up excess liquid with a microfiber cloth. Microfiber cloths work well for blotting up stains before they set in because they’re very absorbent. Use the cloth to lightly dab at the stained area to soak up some of the stain before it dries. Do this as soon as you can so that the stain will be as minimal as possible.[1]

    • If you don’t have a microfiber cloth on hand when you notice the stain, try using something else absorbent, such as a regular cloth or a paper towel.

    Mix dishwashing soap and water to create a cleaning solution. Fill a small bowl with water. Add 1-2 squirts of dishwashing liquid to the bowl and mix the contents together to create some sudsy water. When used sparingly, this mixture can help to clean off stains on your velvet shoes.

    • As an alternative, fill a small bowl with lemon juice and add in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of baking soda. Stir the lemon juice and baking soda together until a foam forms.

    Scrub the stain with a toothbrush and wipe away the mixture. Use a soft brush to apply a conservative amount of the mixture to the stained part of your shoes. Then, scrub the stain gently with the brush. Leave the shoes alone for a couple of minutes, and then wipe away the mixture with a clean, dry cloth.[2]

    • Repeat this process if the stain remains.

    Dry the area with a microfiber cloth. Gently press a fresh microfiber cloth, or a regular cloth or paper towel if you don’t have one, against the stained area. The cloth should soak up the moisture from the stain-removing mixture, which may help to dry the spot.[3]

    • Use a hair dryer or fan if you want to quicken the drying process.

    Take your shoes to a professional cleaner if the stain remains. If you’ve tried applying a stain-removing mixture a couple of times and are still struggling to remove the stain, it may be a good idea to consider getting a professional’s help. Velvet is a tricky material, so rather than taking a more aggressive approach to getting the stain out yourself, it may be best to find a professional shoe cleaner who has experience.[4]
