tricky stain removal?
my mum bought some “kumfs” slip on shoes she has sweat a lot in the shoes leaving lots of visible sweat stains on the outside, the material on the outside is light pink and made form soft leather. how can she remove these sweat stains?
thanks
Because sweat is acidic in nature, it’s likely that the leather stain is a result of diluted or altered leather stain by the sweat. There is no way to remove this kind of damage. It can, however, be repaired. The best way to repair the damage is by hand washing the shoes with saddle soap or Woolite, rinse 3 or 4 times to make sure all the soap is out then setting the shoes in a shoe form to prevent shrinkage and to help retain the shape while drying occurs. after the shoes are bone dry reapply leather stain of the same color, then seal and wax them.
To prevent this from happening again, I suggest using Dr. Scholls absorbent liners. Good luck.
