How To Remove Shoe Polish From Carpet
To clean shoe polish from carpet, follow the procedures listed below. Begin with step one, progressing only to the next step if necessary. Remember that you always want to use the gentlest approach to cleaning a carpet stain first.
(Begin with step 1, if stain remains then proceed to the next step)
1. Use a dry cleaning solvent such as
Carbona or Energine.
2. Use a detergent solution. Mix one teaspoon of clear dishwashing
liquid with one cup of warm water. Make sure the water is not hot.
Getting shoe polish on carpet is easy to avoid. It has a very simple solution. And that is... don't polish your shoes near carpet! Do it in the bathroom. And leave them there until they're dry.
It's much easier to remove shoe polish from tile or linoleum than from carpet. Removing shoe polish from carpet is almost as bad as trying to get tar out of carpet. Something that I've had experience with and do not recommend. Not fun!
